    Poem Commentary

    in a scholarship writing class i was asked to create a metaphor for myself. this is how I would like to see myself.

    I am a tree

     I am a tree
    rooted in the Earth
    branches reaching for the sky
    I bear fruit of nutritious knowledge
    I reflect the seasons of life
    My strong limbs provide shade for the weary
    and I am a child's fortress.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
