Question

David Hamar poem on our tree​

Answer 1

Answer:

It takes so long for a tree to grow

so many years of pushing the sky

Long branches stretch the arms

Reach out with their wooden fingers

Years drift by, fall like leaves

From green to yellow then back to green

since my grand dad was a boy

And then before his father’s father

There’s been an elm outside our school

Its shadow long across our playground

Today three men ripped it down

chopped it up. It took ten minutes.
