To The Old Non-Flowering Tree in Front of the House

You old and non-flowering tree
blocking my great afternoon view
of all places why did you decide
to grow right in front of the house?
I find no pleasure in your gnarls
nor do i find any promisein your unbearing dark boughs
your twisted roots has been creeping
all over my peaceful garden
The lovely songbirds choose not to
Perch upon your doomed branches
If only you can move a bit
somewhere around my big backyard
will be a perfect place for you
only then will you never beblocking my great afternoon view
