Deciduous as may be, poplars maintain a cheerful temperament. Rooted in the present, they remain unafflicted by wanderlust. For poplars, a day in the sun soothes like a day at a dance. Music trembles in the beak of singing bird. When bud break occurs and lush leaves appear, man, it's like the song of a docent. Poplars always present a pleasant aspect. Just as it does with you, the bark of poplars becomes darker and rougher with age. No prob! Life fills to the brim. Plucky birds find niches in the verdure. Stomata openings trade carbon dioxide for oxygen while chlorophyll presents an aspect of green freshness. Attitude counts. Life is short , or long on shortness. Someday, everything becomes today. Spreading roots and branches supply the needed picture. You are your neighbour’s tree.
