Purpose of Trees




Wandering in the woods
Running among the trees
Beech, oak and conker trees
Changing colours showing different moods
Children play hide and seek among the trees
Finding thickets to disappear within
Looking for hollows in large trees
Housing squirrels and birds within
Trees are fascinating
And meant for climbing
Tall or short all are a challenge
Easy or hard kids take on the challenge
Laughter ringing in the silent woods
Whispers carrying far through the woods
Swinging from the braches
Autumn colours obscuring brown braches
Thick carpet of leaves would cover the ground
Often good hiding on the ground
Jumping up to scare your friends
Or kicking up leaves to shower your friends
Walking in the woods now
On a crisp autumn morn
Brings back happy memories
Childish laughter echoing in the morning
The purpose of the trees was play
Woods an imaginary dwelling
Trees the walls to scale
Memories that still leave me smiling
