Braggy Winter Tree
Winter tree, you’re such a show-off—
reaching up so high,
waving branches in the breeze
against the deep blue sky.
But I don’t really mind at all,
I see you’re having fun
with all your shapes and curvy lines
undressed in winter’s sun!
reaching up so high,
waving branches in the breeze
against the deep blue sky.
But I don’t really mind at all,
I see you’re having fun
with all your shapes and curvy lines
undressed in winter’s sun!
