The neem tree stood tal, <br />And spread out wide, <br />Dark green all over, <br />Giving shelter to passersby, <br />the dogs resting under <br />Its huge shade, goats feeding <br />The grass that grew <br />Under it, the wonder <br />Medicinal tree a shelter <br />For everyone near by, <br />Even letting the crows <br />To build nests, along <br />With the sparrows <br />Who made sacks for nesting <br />All types of birds resting <br />A swall world built around <br />The neem tree swinging <br />In the wind made a world <br />Of its own to the jealousy <br />Of the shrubs nearby.<br /><br />RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/neem-tree/
