Hello, Tree, Says the Dog

HELLO, TREE, SAYS THE DOG
by April Halprin Wayland

Hello, Tree.
Thank you for your upright trunk—
it’s fabulous to sniff.

I love that I don’t have to beg,
when I line you up against my leg
and lift.

 

This is an apostrophe poem, also called a poem of address.

Bruce liked it.  🙂


Eli is chasing a squirrel. Up a tree.
He did not get the squirrel.
