Sam Kauffman Poet Rhyme

Blueberry Tree

Blueberry Tree

I buried a blueberry,
 Just to see,
If it would grow
 To a blueberry tree.

So round and so sweet
 Coats of deep blue
Just a few seeds -
 Who knew?

But all that grew -
 A scrawny shrub;
All leaves - no blueberries -
 That was the rub.

So, I buried more blueberries
 Just to see
If they would grow
 My blueberry tree.

Planted them carefully
 Next to a wall;
Watered them daily
  Hoped they would be tall.

But, up came more shrubs -
 A-ha! with blossoms;
Turning to blueberries.
 So awesome!

No blueberry tree.
 No surprise!
But my lips just turned purple
 From blueberry pie!

Inspired by John Watt's "Ivory Tower-y"
