Willow Tree

My weeping leaves drape over me Sun shines on me, showing dappled leaves My bark is a cutting board Hard as a shield of metal A fountain of nature, protecting me My willows weep in the wind And my cool shade attracts all My strange bumpy surface, like a strange stone My crown is seen by all, and I grow greater every day I sway in the wind, and my fallen leaves move gently moving down the river of wind My willows are seen by all around me I create a curtain of my own And I am a Willow … Continue reading Willow Tree

Where I’m From

Where I’m From

I am from pizza, from my gabb watch and LEGO sets. I am from wordle and all 5-letter words. I am from the apples on the trees that I pick in the fall. I am from baseball, from my old dog Ella that passed away long ago. I am from Citi-Field, from Dungeons and Dragons and evenings spent reading Lord of the Rings with my dad. I am from walking the Brooklyn Bridge with my mom, I am from guitar practice, from Legoland and Harry Potter. I am from my first hiking trip. I am from playing with my brother, … Continue reading Where I’m From
