The Poet Tree

by Shanna Baldwin

The poet tree
a place for spirits to mingle
poets and one legged bikers
gamblers and music makers
their poems hanging
on the same tree
singers of the same songs
"Brother Iz' over the rainbow
street poets
mountain mysterys
war babies
and love children
mingle and sing
a song for the poets
free at last
whirling words
whispers on the wind
only the gypsy knows
the magik therein
