Love is like an oak tree

Love is like a grand, old oak
Its roots flow deep and true
It's leaves change with the season
And its branches reach far and wide across the heavens
Love stands tall for everyone to see
Like an old oak
Love can last forever and ever
And everyone can look upon it,
As they do an old oak tree,
In awe and utter wonder
Love is like a grand old oak tree
And my love
Is no different
And just like a fallen oak tree
Love, is severely crushing me

[Coyote Poetry]

I like the logic of love and the tree. I have used the tree often in the poetry for love. I enjoyed the story in the poetry leading to the sad ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Great poem Kristen. Where did you get the inspiration to write this piece?

[Kristen Liles]

Thank you. The inspiration? My own experience. I have had many many loves but last year I found someone truly incredible... My best friend for five years. We were both really into nature and always admired oak trees their power etc, and he made the comment that love is like am oak tree. That's when I wrote this poem. We have split for reasons I still don't know today... But we just recently started talking again. I guess in hopes of getting my best friend in this entire world back I decided to edit and post this poem. Thank you very much!

This poem captures a neat and meaningful part of your life. That is what writing is meant to do and in that respect it is true art.

I like the comparison between love and and oak tree. The spender when it is alive but the crushing feeling when it dies. It is something everybody can relate to.
Well done
