What fun
peering into the foliage
exploring every limb and leaf and flower
delighting in the games
shadow and light play
chasing each other along the trunk
flitting across the crown
hiding in the secret places
surrounded by emerald treasure...
Until mother says,
"Stop playing with your food."

Wow--a poem with the broccoli tree. That's what I always called broccoli for my children, which got them to eat it. I even tried that with the African kids!
ReplyDeleteI think it must be universal, which is why it will be included in my tree book :)
