Beside the Pond



Beside the Pond
by
Jayse Bickel
(age 12) 

I look over the pond, 
My brothers beside me. 
The great Oak brags that he is stronger;
We do not deny it.
Though wind blows, 
My brothers and I bend. 
Yet the Oak breaks. 
We feel the wind;
The wind makes us sing. 
The earthworms burrow beneath our roots
It tickles. 
They make us laugh. 
Dragonflies climb on us 
To take off their coats 
And merge into adulthood. 
What am I?
