My Tree
By Holly W
My tree is as jagged
as mountain peaks.
It is so very monumental,
and grand.
As I look up at the sky,
I realise it is as tall as a skyscraper.
My tree’s roots dig deeper in the ground
like a river’s many forks,
and get stronger as it grows.
It's very broad and bulky
as it stands tall
in the middle of the graveyard.
My tree reminds me
of how all the astonishing stars
in the sky are special,
but not as unique as my tree.
This tree is so shiny,
it looks like it’s polished
from the touch
of someone’s fingers.
