“The Tree” by Eben Court
In spring
your leaves start to come back
and the forest grows with color.
In summer
your leaves turn a brilliant shade of green
and your branches reach for the sky. 1.
In fall
your leaves turn beautiful
shades of orange and red,
filling the air with color. 2.
And then they begin to fall
slowly downwards,
making ground
crunch beneath my feet. 3.
In winter
all your leaves are gone.
Just skeletons live in this age.
The seasons they
are different to a tree,
but all of them are beautiful.
Are there any others (rhyme, alliteration, onomatopoeia, metaphor, personification, hyperbole?
imagery) that were not underlined? Circle them and write the element of poetry you found.
