Underground

Underground roots reach
for water, stretch toward
center of spinning earth,
seek depth, support upward
reach of strong straight trunk,
canopy of leafed out branches.

    Yes, what's underground is important too. Without the underground there would be no leafed out canopy. Excellent!

    So much that is underground supports that which is above ground. I like your poem, Victoria.
