the poet tree
with it's many limbs
entwined in the web
of creativity

the poet tree
where she goes to sit
under the shade
of invention

the poet tree
with it's trunk of nourishment
born from soil
enriched with embellishment

the kind only a writer uses
to flesh out fact
with romantic fusion
combining truth with fiction

the poet tree
where she comes to read
under the protective cover
of poetic sanctuary
