Picture by Jaime Webb
I came across a nature formed tower
Formed from a tree's skeletal remains.
This carbon abode claimed by
tenants of round, dark-green moss.
The grand entryway at the bottom
thin but sturdy, the tower
thickening as you look up
floor by floor.
An elegant, modern design
of vertical stripes in shades of
grey, white, brown, and
red decorate the leaning tower.
Balconies of jutting limbs
provide sunny relaxing spots
for moss visitors.
The roof provides a launching spot
for the next generation of spores
to leave the nest for their
own towers, whether stump
or living tree or moist ground.
I would be very lucky
to live in a wooden tower
if I were a moss.
