Sense Sonnet - Pumper

 Buddy System

I be a bud upon a stem

On a tree where other buds be.

I be one of many of them,

Adding spring colors to this tree.

And as a bud I keep in mind

That a flower bud I am not,

Which is of a different kind.

I be the kind of bud that's got

A future as food making one

Of many for my tree's good health.

My kind will work well with the sun,

Making good food with a green wealth.

My time as a bud will be brief,

Then I will turn into a leaf.
