A Tree (First Poem Written - Age 8) Poem by Cheryl Lynn Moyer Peele

A Tree (First Poem Written - Age 8)

Rating: 5.0


Oh, how lovely is a tree
so much taller, than you or me.
Spreading out it's branches day and night
for tired birds, from their flight.

Where would we be without a tree?
We wouldn't have much, would we?


Born: Cheryl Lynn Safko (St. Petersburg, FLA)

Question: Did I show any literary promise?

Well done! A lovely poem indeed, especially when penned by one so young. I do think the literary talent shows through. (But then, I am regularly amazed at the natural talent of many young poets on this site) Thanks for sharing. Richard

Why yes, Cheryl, I think you DID show promise. I remember my first poem about Daffodils and I don't think I want to add it to my collection. But, it is in us, isn't it, from a young age? Keep writing and sharing. Best Wishes, Marilyn

Madam Cheryl Lynn! I do not believe that you have written the poem in the age of eight. And if you did it then you are a born poet. Amazing. Really. Happy to see you from Aries class.
