Worth (Free verse) by Dovina

Consider a tree,s lithe sway as picture, plan, or metaphor. Classify its species, the elements that make it life, or the values of its wood and shade. I,m important like a tree, with buying power of a coin. But as a person, I hold worth per se, and submit a tree may too. If so, then pity its selfish state unless it knows some being knows its worth exceeds intrinsic.

I`m not a tree hugger, though the poem comes close to being so.

I don`see the punctuation problem.

I debated the `coin`in verse three, but decided to keep it so the reader could feel like a coin if he-she wants to. A lot of us want to feel like we have buying power.
