Creeper

I have a little soft corner

For the creeper

For its delicacy, flexibility

For its ability to adjust,

And expand

Yet I am not for creeper bending at every bend,

Never taking a stand at its own end

Always looking for some help for its unsteady,

Unstable, unsure trend.

For its fragile and flickery intent.

Always seeking shoulders

To stand and pretend!

I admire somehow

Its elder brother

The Tree-

Stable, strong, straight.

Flowery, fruity, fragrant!

Always lending

Never seeking support!
