Oh look! A tree! It's beautiful! Nature! Green! The breeze blows! Look at those leaves! Look at the beauty of God's work! The magnificence! The wood! The fruit! The flower! The knothole! The...gum? There's gum in the knothole? There IS gum in the knothole! Doublemint! Pennies and figurines too! Who would do such a nice act? Oh... Right... Him... The one hidden within. He must really be misunderstood. I wish we could meet him So we would know the real him.

In memory of Harper Lee, I wrote a poem inspired by her Pulitzer Prize winning novel "To **** a Mockingbird". R.I.P. Harper Lee
