Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Big One


A single organism is

A grove of quaking aspen trees.

So biggest living thing on quiz

Is a grove in Utah one sees,

Forty seven thousand trunks that

Are all connected by roots same,

Called Pando in this habitat,

Meaning "I spread" in clonal aim,

O'er thirteen million pounds of weight.

As old trunks die, new trunks do sprout,

But do be threatened in graze fate,

Eaten by animals about.


Perhaps humans will find a way

To keep too much grazing at bay.
