Tree Poem

By: Simone Perry

The oldest tree living is three- 0r four-thousand years old.
Some grow as high as a forty-story skyscraper.
Trees can be studied in every season, and they should be.
I think when trees are really old, they get gray and dry
and they slouch over a bit.
Trees are studied in fall, winter, spring, and summer.
I would study a tree in winter because
I would like to see how they live, how they stay warm.
How trees grow: I think the roots are pushing the tree trunk upward.
