Notes About The Poem
It is said that when Zackeus slide down the tree so fast that he started the bark to peeling...

Zackeus and the Scyamore

The Scyamore's leaves have yellowed
Defining it's bark that peels white
It is tall, straight and stately
A vision of pure delight

It reminds me of Zackeus 
Who rested upon its stately limb
To get a glimpse of Jesus
Then slide down to get close to him

Just for fun
