The Poet’s Tree

[Pendragon]

The Poet’s Tree

‘Neath the Poet’s Tree
He wrote his poetry
Sipping potent tea
Flowing prosery
From his pen so free
Each a potentiality
For a public read
In some Poetic ‘Zine
Vibrant imagery
Frantic energy
Composing carefully
Laughing delightedly
Busy as a bee
Was the Poet as he
Sat ‘neath the Poet’s Tree…

''Under the greenwood tree"
UNDER the greenwood tree
Who loves to lie with me,
And tune his merry note
Unto the sweet bird's throat—
Come hither, come hither, come hither!
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.

Who doth ambition shun
And loves to live i' the sun,
Seeking the food he eats
And pleased with what he gets—
Come hither, come hither, come hither!
Here shall he see
No enemy
But winter and rough weather.

Great fun and inventiveness, both of you!

Really a lovely poem Pen. I liked it. It's been so long that I hadn't found time to ponder and write. I feel like I want to write after reading your poem. Lovely . Thanks for sharing this poem Pen! This poem has been a muse for me.
