I was blown away to get a drawing by Monica to go with her poem but I can’t seem to post it as it is a PDF (Monica was one of the Holiday Poem Camp fans). Her poems were just terrific. Posting this tree poem is the perfect way to pack up camp and head home. I really enjoyed this Monica and I am in love with your drawing. Very mysterious and beautiful.
Thanks everyone who joined in writing and reading!
Hi Paula
Here is my tree poem, and a picture I drew for you. Hope you like it.
Monica
In the treetops
climbing upwards
my castle above
waves in the wind
to a beautiful dove
into my turret
I pull up the flag
my hut is amazing
I don’t mean to brag
smooth swaying branches
are easily seen
it’s the only place
where I can be queen
I love my palace
and it sure isn’t hard
to say my tree’s awesome
here in my backyard
