Tree’s Ode To Kate
To bend with the wind
In Katie’s lovely garden
All I have in mind
.
To be soothed in peace
By the hand of a Princess
What more can I say
.
To be well-grounded
Surrounded by fertile soil
Sunshine’s stately post
.
How rarely it’s found
This blessed fortune abides
I stand corrected
.
With supporting love
She’s tenderly…thoughtfully
Upheld my weakest
.
No judgment she brings
Further arrangements she holds
I may rest assured
.
You might see me there
Stretching to the sky’s limit
All my worthwhile days
.
Come see me sometime
Smile at this silly posture
Bowing out in style
.

You really dug deep down to my roots here, Eva.
I am a bit ticklish down there. Remember “Field Of Dreams”?
“Build it and they will come.” Well, not at wordpress they won’t.
Getting started isn’t easy. One has to go soliciting, huh?
Kate is a web friend. You may have seen her around these parts.
We hung out at Intentblog for a couple of years, and right before
they closed the place I wrote this for her as a farewell present.
A southern gentleman does this kind of thing. I try, Lordy, Lordy,
I try. Thank you for being the first to comment. Yeah! Finally…
