What is a tree?

Poems
What is a tree?
A place to play, a wall to climb, a thing to swing.
What is a tree?
Adventures start when it can be anything.

What is a bed?
A place to sleep, a land to dream, mind wandering.
What is a bed?
Adventures start when it can be anything.

What is a hall?
A track to race, a lane to bowl, a stage to sing.
What is a hall?
Adventures start when it can be anything.

What is a box?
A place to hide, a hat to wear, treasure glittering.
What is a box?
Adventures start when it can be anything.

What is that?
It’s up to you, you’re in charge, the queen or king.
What is that?
Adventures start when it can be anything.
