NPM Day 9: Something Poetic

Every time I walk, I snap pictures of trees. Here are just a few examples from recent weeks:



I decided that these pictures needed a poem. I went to the Poetry Foundation, where I discovered the  concrete poem, "Whenever You See a Tree" by Padma Venkatraman. The poem ends with these words:

Next time
you see
a tree
think
how
much
hope
it holds

Something poetic" every day is my commitment for NPM this year. 
I'll spotlight a favorite poem or book or poet or share a quote I love. 
Maybe I'll even stretch myself and occasionally write an original poem.
