Among the boughs of the weeping birch
she discovered how far up she could climb
and which branches supported her
as she tried to touch a cloud.
Among the boughs of the
weeping birch
he discovered how green
looks at dawn and at dusk,
and which other colors
dipped their toes
into the emerald sea he
tried to capture on paper.
Under the boughs of
the weeping birch
whose leaves form a
curtain
giving those who love
it sanctuary,
love unites, and
births new loves too.
This is the sign I carry to rallies
This poem was inspired by the prompt given over at Imaginary Gardens With Real Toads: Out of Standard - Signs of the Times, where we were asked to create a poem including a slogan from a protest sign and write something not political.
