The oak tree and little boy.
A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)
The oak tree and the little boy.
I sat down and spoke to the oak tree. We were young and green. We talked about growing things, the wind, water, and weather. As I grew older, the oak tree grew so high. Now it spoke of newer things: the clouds, mountain peaks, and sky. I guess he thinks he's so great, but I can hear his cry screaming as loud as possible to the sky. Now that he has grown, he has no time to talk to me. He said it's not that he has grown; it's just that you stayed so small and, I'm so tall.

This poem it is what it is I love oak trees Forest woods. The leaves when they change colors on the leaves. Did you get this? The oak tree was mad because it grew too high and could not talk to the boy anymore.
