Welcome back to another entry in the Poetry Dice Challenge 3000. has handed off the contest to
for the time being, and I encourage you to check out the post and participate. This weeks theme is 'beginnings.' Without further ado, here is this weeks roll and my entry:
The tallest tree grows from a tiny seed,
blossoming forth and flowing endlessly.
Drawn to the Sun, climbing with the Earth's spin;
Power magnified again and again.
Resting in the dark while the roots take hold;
Digging to the core, sheltered from the cold.
Some branches seem alien in nature,
a risk of finding their own path, I'd wager.
Force against nature, standing tall and proud,
braving the wilds, no need to be allowed.
Reaching for the stars without leaving the ground,
living with no fear of being brought down.
