Red Thorns Growing

Along this path,
I walk, as I spy
by the pond,

red thorns growing,
from the tree trunk,
of this dignified tree.

All the way to
the tip top I see,
them on this,

enchanting tree,
  such a marvel,
  I behold,

of this bewitching,
   tree so rare,
    indeed,

even thorns,
   on the branches,
such a awesome,

thing of nature,
placed here at
  Lowell ponds.
