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
