Trees Have Muscles

Trees Have Muscles

Exercising in the strong wind,
The trees swing back and forth
in unison like ballet dancers.
Pliable limbs strengthening against
each swirling gust in nature's gym.
Until today I didn't know that trees
had muscles.

The Art of Being Second to Last

The Art of Being Second to Last

Never last, but penultimate
Out of the gate
Second to last
Not very fast

Penultimaters play their part
A special art
Ahead of one
Under the gun

Almost like a wallflower's first date
Penultimate
They never lose
Just wear slow shoes.
