Five Italian cypress trees <br /> Standing in a row, <br /> Like tall and slender sentinels, <br /> Until the wind begins to blow! <br /> <br /> They slip into their dancing shoes <br /> And do a great ballet! <br /> They whirl and bend and waltz around, <br /> They swirl and weave and sway! <br /> <br /> Bowing low in unison, <br /> In dizzy circles flowing, <br /> Exquisite choreography! <br /> And planned for just this showing! <br /> <br /> I stand here by my window <br /> And watch, in fascination! <br /> They bow in perfect harmony, <br /> I clap my appreciation!<br /><br />Mable Jo Baker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tree-ballet/
