Sara Kendrick Poet I do not know?

Campsis

Orange Trumpet Flower Vine with its orange trumpet shape flower
Has wrapped its tenical around the pecan tree 
Now within four feet of the top of that fourty foot tree
It took awhile for it to reach the top 
Probably five or six years of sending out shoots a little higher each year
So like human relationships
One being the stalwart one_supporter, nourisher
The other vinelike clinging__taking
Never thanking or giving back to the giver of life
Just sending out those orange blooms to attract attention from pollinators
Some people in relationships are the very same

Carolyn Devonshire July 15, 2010 at 4:18 AM Very good analogy of the vine to human relationships. There are few relationships in which mutual growth seems to occur. Well done, Sara. Love, Carolyn
