Trees Want Affection

Into the group of old trees I go heedlessly The trees all welcome my step I move carelessly Trees want affection I walk there beside the trees They want attention

Great poem! Love the form too... never seen it before! You should enter it in one of poeticpossibilities.tk 's contests. I think you'd have a great chance of winning... I 've read some of your other poems as well and they're all great. You're a phenomenal poet, and any poem you enter would be great. If not, I wish you the best with your poetry career, even though I think that would be a terrible decision. Anyway, great poem and keep up the great work!
