I Am A Coconut Tree

If you’ll be stranded in a place with only me around
I’ll bring you in my arms safely, comfortably and sound,
I’ll feed you young white spongy-like sprouts and fruits
Provide your clothes from my trunk’s skin, flowers and leaves,
honing your creativity in a flying trapeze of joy or parachutes!
I’ll heal your ailments, I’ve good featured medicines
I’ll give everything I have, treating you my king or queen,
You’ll build your exquisite house and complete furniture
with enough utensils, decors, working and cleaning tools.
You’ll be a great survivor in my embrace ‘til the future!

Andrea Dietrich October 5, 2025 at 12:04 PM It's so cool you did this amazing tree. I don't think any other poet chose it. Well done and congrats Len Gasun October 6, 2025 at 8:23 PM I choose this tree because we have many tall coconut trees in our place. Coconut trees provide a lot of things we need but only so scarry and we feel unsafe when they sway hard if strong typhoons come to our place. Thanks for reading my poem, your uplifting words and warm congrats dear. Hugs
