FREE VERSE
THE SEED BY RADHIKA JHAVERI, AGE 11, 2022 The seed is tiny, but it will grow The seed will grow into a giant tree The giant tree will have buds The buds will turn into flowers that have soft petals
The soft petals will drift to the ground and land on a carpet of leaves The bees will come from all over the place to drink the sweet nectar from the flowers The fruits will grow where the buds once were The fruit will rot and will reveal seeds like this one But for all that to happen
This seed needs to be buried It needs water It needs sunlight And it needs time Like you
