Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Body Blemish

On my trunk I did notice that

There was a blemish growing there,

And kind of ugly to look at

By those around in space we share.

Always wanting to look my best

I pondered whether I should try

To remove this unwanted guest.

But then did come winter, so I

Waited till the coming of spring,

Whereupon I decided to

Shed this even uglier thing,

Such surely wood be best to do.

And so this tree spit out that knot.

Now a new nest of birds I've got.
