With rough bark and emerald green leaves
It was starting to get cold so I rolled up my sleeves.
I was standing in front of a whole forest of oaks.
I looked at the trees leaves for awhile, noting the color matched that of my cloak.
I heard a crow cawing overhead,
But I insisted on examining the tree some more instead.
O, I know I should be home now,
Slaving away at my job, feeding the cows.
I guess my brother can do it today.
Besides I don't care if I don't get one days pay.
And again I heard a crow cawing overhead,
But I insisted on examining the tree some more instead.

The oaks in the forest were very strong
With rough bark and emerald green leaves
It was starting to get cold so I rolled up my sleeves.
I was standing in front of a whole forest of oaks.

I heard a crow cawing overhead,
But I insisted on examining the tree some more instead.
O, I know I should be home now,

Besides I don't care if I don't get one days pay.
And again I heard a crow cawing overhead,
But I insisted on examining the tree some more instead.

This was a brilliant poem, It felt kinda fairy taleish, and surreal, at the same time creating reality, and I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I like this and I don't know why, I don't think it's terribly special. But the spacey, peaceful feeling I get whenever I read But I insisted on examining the tree some more instead is pretty awesome. Beautifully understated words.
