The Tree of Charity
If you go to the mountains of Cloudysky,
To the tallest peak called Dree,
To the village of Thorn and a little bit past it,
You will find a remarkable tree.
The tree is a large, magnificent oak,
But it isn't so very unique.
Yet if you were to talk to the people of Thorn,
You would learn of its mystique.
It is called the Tree of Charity,
Because of a girl and a terrible man,
A vile, maniacal, wizardly sort,
With a dark, nefarious plan.
But you needn't travel to Dree, dear reader,
For it is a place known by few;
If you want to hear of this remarkable tree,
I can tell its tale to you.

Author guidance for This poem
This is a fantastical, collaborative poem about the 'Tree of Charity.' I'm willing to have this go in any direction anyone wishes, but it is a continuing story -- albeit a rhyming one -- not just a random collection of poetry. The only rule is that you must keep the same rhyming format as the first chapter. (Four lines at a time, 2nd and 4th lines rhyming.) Post four short lines at a time, or post twenty -- have fun!wolf has been kind enough to set up a 'sequel' to the Tree of Charity which can be found here:
