Was the tree shape intentional or it just came about as you wrote this? Regardless, great insight and a lovely composition!
I love the format of this, and the words even more.

This is incredible!!
Thank you Alyssa:)
An excellent poem Christopher. Trees are a major part of our existence yet we still carry on in their destruction. As you so succinctly put it, without them very little else will matter.
thank you Davy:D
