Juliet Ligon Poet Personification

Tree In a Forest

I'm in a crowded place.  

 Others brush my limbs. 

 We look so much the same,

 I easily fit in. 

 No one knows my name. 

 I am one of them,

 firry and firm with

 a little junk in the trunk. 

 Wispy and thin, 

 I flow with the breeze. 

 I'm a little shady, 

 but stay if you please 

 as long as you'd like. 

 I've no teeth to bite. 

 If you come closer,

 I won't walk away. 

 I've no legs to go. 

 I'm here every day. 

 The great outdoors

 is where I sleep. 

 They're all I've known. 

 My roots are deep. 

 This crowded forest

 is my home.

John Loving Iii February 1, 2014 at 4:23 PM very creative!!! i liked it very much. but even with the title i didn't figure out it was a tree untill the middle of it. Juliet Ligon February 6, 2014 at 6:48 PM Thanks, John. I'm glad you didn't figure out it was a tree right away because the traits of a tree can describe a person as well. That's the what I was trying to go for.

Jerry Bolton February 1, 2014 at 9:37 AM And so it is. I liked very much your wordplay within the structure of the poem. Juliet Ligon February 6, 2014 at 6:46 PM Thanks, Jerry.
