Ecological Colonization - "the action by a plant or animal of establishing itself in an area."
Each spring the pine trees become quite distraught considering it a mere childish ploy that neighb'ring maple trees without much thought must litter the ground with their silly toys. The willful whirly birds with tensity find life each fall equally distressing since pine needles have a propensity for clutter by untidy undressing. The hybrid elms propose a postulate attempting proof that those who are living with a roommate's rude failure to placate must learn the pensive art of forgiving. The plan was to establish parity between the two trees, the maple and pine, by having each tree speak apology putting request for pardon on the line. Sadly the prose from the trees went south bound when a pedantic oak cast its acorns like aspersions upon their common ground and the gum shed its sap on the hawthorns.

But the rudest of all is the sweet gum, a tree that talks trash all year long. Pretty personification poem, poetess Poteet!
