A poem for Seed

SEED

I thought that I should never see
A deer as noble as a Tree;

A steadfast and majestic hart
Who loves his wood in whole and part,

A friend to fawn, to bird, to stone;
A king with soft grass as his throne;

A minstrel whose soft voice belies
The broken heart beneath his guise,

Within whose dreams the Forest sleeps,
While in his mind a secret keeps.

He hears the song within the reed
and sees the forest in a seed.


- Io Rez, 2010


This is Seed's award poem from the Ligtbringers. It is a tribute/parody of Joyce Kilmer's poem "Trees".

Laruna:That was actually

Laruna:That was actually inspired by a line from one of his poems!
and I recalled he was the King of Hearts in a SweeT player-created TEF inspired card-deck.
Can't quite recall who drew those...
EDIT: It was Trigger Mortis. I checkd.
