The Tree of Poison
In the dark of the woods, a tree does stand,
With twisted branches like a cruel hand.
Leaves like shadows, sharp and green,
Whispers secrets, not fit for the keen.
Fruits that glisten, but hold a sting,
One single bite, and trouble they bring.
A scent so sweet, it lures you near,
But beware, my friend, it hides in fear.
In the night, it casts a spell,
A warning tale too hard to tell.
So here we learn, as we gaze at the tree,
Not all that looks good is safe for thee.
