A poem in rhyming sextets

 

 

Proof positive 2011

 

This tree is where no tree should be.

It clings to life precariously.

From whence it cam nobody knows.

All that we know is that it grows.

Although it’s stunted gnarled and bent.

It has survived that’s evident.

 

Perchance it’s where it should not be.

It does not matter to the tree.

This is the only place it knows

and so it very slowly grows.

Defying rules conceived by men

It forces them to think again.

 

Although the experts all agree.

It’s an impossibility

The tree discounts the experts view

A seed took root and simply grew.

That’s all seeds know how to do.

Its mere existence proves it’s true.
