A poem by David Morton

Affinities

________________________________________________
Title:     Affinities
Author: David Morton [More Titles by Morton]

Young girls love a slender birch,
Tall and blowing in the wind,
Silvered in the sun and rain,
And beautifully thinned.

Old men love an apple-tree
Twisted and gnarled as they;
But when new blossoms line the bough,
The old men look away.







[The end]
David Morton's poem: Affinities
