Catalpa’s Beauty

By: Bay, 7th Grade

 

Soft white flowers

Dripping on their stems

Gently caress the ground

With their milky petals

 

Catalpa trees dot the world

With their tender, subtle grace

The wind sways the branches gently

Spreading joy to all who see it

 

Heart shaped leaves

Shade the tendrils of grass

Still covered in dew

From the early morning’s birth

 

Catalpa trees dot the world

With their tender, subtle grace

The wind sways the branches gently

Spreading joy to all who see it

 

Birds find shelter

From the spring storms and wind

Preening their feathers

As their claws carve up the soft wood

 

Catalpa trees dot the world

With their tender, subtle grace

The wind sways the branches gently

Spreading joy to all who see it

 

Bean pods hang from

Leafy limbs coated in

Wriggling caterpillars searching for food

Soon to become moths

 

Catalpa trees are oh, so stunning

As they drop their bounty, fruit

Onto the welcoming ground

Of the glistening world
