Somehow They Understood That Immediately - Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar
Well...
It is a beginning.
That,
You will have to confess.
Admit it!
At least several of them,
Have seen a forest before.
However...
Many are still questioning,
The purpose for the trees.
'Well...
It is a beginning.
At least several of them,
Have seen a forest before.'
That's exactly what I said!
'I know.
I'm stalling for time.
I am attempting to create an answer,
That will first make sense to me.'
Good luck!
I've already told them,
I was not from their neighborhood.
And somehow they understood that immediately.
I am doing all I can to remember them...
As college students.
Good luck!
I'm glad I did not request this field trip.
