In Honor of National Poetry Month

An amusing poem by the Canadian Poet Laureate Raymound Souster:

The Response

The tree’s branches
knocked against our window:
It wanted to be friends
and come in.

My answer was to open my window
reach out and hack off
its two longest arms.

I can see why they made him poet laureate :-)
