Notes About The Poem

Tall oak story

I was once a tall oak tree
as tall as the eye could see.
I lived in a lush green forest
full of animals, trees and plsnts
we had every species from
an elephant to a badger to an ant

One day men came into my home
I hoped they would leave us alone
but they had an arsenal of chain saws 
and, axes and it was then their intenit 
became clear,  they meant to cut us 
down which filled me with utter fear.

Then they stack us up log by log,
one by one until the deed was done .
Next they took us to a processing area 
where they fashioned us into planks, 
boards, tables, stools and chairs.

And although I'd rather have stayed a tree
instead of furniture and other means 
of utensils, it could have been worse
at least I can tell my story because 
they made me a pencil.
