Squat ugly gnarled trunk
tapering branches flower
berries nourish birds

    This is really adorable. The imagery is just picturesque (: You describe a Mulberry tree very well here -- its physical forms with such a story about its branches and flowers, and the other sides with the way it connects itself and be one with the other creatures of natures, something commensalism. Haha .. The birds are nourished with its berries and the birds act as pollinators. Haha .. I am rambling again .. Mulberry trees are a symbol of calculated patience, the early birds must learn from them .. Haha .. And since it's Earth day today, just wanted to say that we must take care of our nature, for gems like this come from them. Haha ..

    PS. Just beautiful!

    Adorable read!
    It's so sad the nature poems are not as abundant as before. Great gem, Larry.
