The leaves of the cottonwood tree
I drove up to Birch Ridge Resort this morning to pick up a couple of scoops of fathead minnows. On my way there and back, I noticed that the air was full of the white cottony hairs of the cottonwood tree. As I drove home this verse popped into my head.
Cottonwood Tree
Floating through air like a light summer snow
Drifting in the breeze with no one place to go
In the Leech Lake woods they’re everywhere to see
The white fluffy spawn of the cottonwood tree

Drifting in the breeze with no one place to go
