This weeks readwritepoem prompt was to write from the perspective of a tree...well I've often been told that I'm a bit wooden so this should be a piece of cake. 

I am Tree
I am strong.. and tall.
Feet planted deeply in my mother Earth...
Suckling at her breast..
And gulping her precious essence..
Drawing it through my veins..quenching my thirst..higher.
And higher still
To fingertips... which stretch to dance in the breeze...
Or sway...softly yielding to nature's call.
Then back again...
I am strong...and tall.

I love the repetition of the first and last verse. Lot's of earthy images, the true essence of a tree.
