Jan Allison Poet Personification

Notes About The Poem

I am a tree poetry contest Sponsored by Tania Kitchin 09/25/25

 

I am a copper beech tree

I am a copper beech tree
I’m the most beautiful tree of them all
I always change my dress with the seasons 
I’ll wear bright green, then ochre and gold in fall
I love my spring dress of vivid emerald green
My gown changes colour in the cooler weather
when shades of orange, gold and red can be seen
I detest the biting winds which steal my gown, 
as my naked limbs are exposed to the world
I get so embarrassed and I wear a frown!
