The Willow Man
March 7, 2016
Her majesty is grace, but only her truth can be bestowed by the Willow man
He lay in full suit and quite tan
Gripping the handle of his sharp blade, that ever so slightly swayed
Beginning his work was all it took for the pay
Chop chop went the axe and bark after bark was ripped
Her thin leaves left with every hit and soon she began to tip
Assistance needed the man for he could no longer do alone
The mightiness of this woman was working him to the bone
Taking in her full breath she wasn't letting go
Heave said the men while she said no!

I was reading about deforestation in the United States and in the Amazon. It inspired me to write this poem.
