The Narra Tree (Philippine National Tree) Poem by Noel Horlanda

The Narra Tree (Philippine National Tree)

Rating: 5.0


Walking down valley ways
Across meadows, creeks,
Upon lagoons, moonlight bays
Russet twigs breaks
Tall, green n' handsome
Willowy, long legg'd gentle
Hard as rock, wholesome
Defiant although menthol
Rough n' rugged looks
Over brawny arboretum
Its reflection nearby brooks
Where I come, self entombed
Withstood passing centuries
Deep-rooted, steadfast
Against deforester adventurists,
Firestorms, menaces, acid dusts
Despsite global climate change
Remain unchained
