The Child The Sun Would Tan

Rating: 5.0


The child the sun would tan; and eyes that glow
and body of youth and hair that sweeps the earth
high the tree limbs knew his feet upon the heart.

Those tree tops in the wind as rain falls from the sky
each fruit so ripe those hands are seeking more
and day browns his skin a little more and hardly shows.

It is an excellent metaphorical poem. The personification of the tree can be called 'myth poesies'(association between child and tree) .The simile; 'Those tree tops in the wind as rain falls from the sky'' is very well embedded...10++++
