Curtis Johnson Poet Dizain

My Trapped Cedars

Evergreens, not passing as beauty queens

Along a fence line, there are three of them

Great trees to make a big and splashing scene

But the metal fence is intertwined with their limbs

And their chances of survival are slim

Stump-grinding will destroy them and the fence

So, leaving them there is my best defense

Imprisoned, their potential is doomed

And their growth is hampered, I am convinced

Music played with the wind is out of tune
