Reaching the Top Branch

A poem about climbing trees.

By Madison "Maddy" NewtonPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

It's a wonder where the fascination comes from,

I think trees appeal to us all, whether or not we have a green thumb.

They give us breath, exciting terrain,

shade from the sun and cover from rain.

Climbing them, it was a monkey I was sure I'd become.

    That's sweet and the trees need all the love we can give them nowadays. Ever heard of the Wood Wide Web? It's a real thing!
