A Tree Named Bradford

... A Tree Named Braford Shaped like a Christmas Tree Sets off at least two seasons One with white and the other with fire Spring blooms are beautiful and Fall puts on A great show but when one looks at winter closely The Bradford's buds does surely show along side these Are tiny little pears; Food for all the birds, to feed in winter Snow, Who would have thought that the Bradford woud hold Hands with old Sweet Gum Joe, as they dance to the win- Ter breeze and shiver in the cold two friends so different They are love struck because they are so much the Same color, Their bright burgundy and gold so Looking like flaming touches one in yards The other is the wild, wild woods so Far apart but in love are they The birds and bees Bear their Love Tales Back And Forth Each Day

We planted two Bradford Pear Trees after we moved into our house 16 years ago. Goodness but they've grown, and more beautiful every year, especially at the change of season. Wonderful shape poem...you've captured the tree's essence perfectly! ~Juliane
