*Excerpt from the poem “Poplar”*

The wind is howling through the oak tree,

Walking across the field,

The edge of the road bends the poplar

All the way to the bottom.

The stature is high, the leaf is wide

Why does it turn green?

Around the field, like the sea

Wide and blue.

And the ash tree creaked now and then.
