Re: Tools of the trade: Personification
*Dollar* 1,000 GPs were sent to Dave Author Icon with this post.
A plea from a tree:

Please, kind woodsman, pass me by
and ply your trade in forests far.
Let me reach for yonder sky,
to bask in sun, and sleep by star.

Mighty oaks and maples grow
in other woods you’ve yet to hew.
Leave my roots to spread below
and let my leaves drink morning dew.

Take your tools to yonder wood,
where overgrowth now begs for axe.
Where healthy elms and firs once stood,
withered branches lie in stacks.

Please, kind woodsman, let me live,
to house the forest’s bugs and birds.
I still have so much to give
to fauna life and poets’ words.
