I’m assuming the letters at the bottom all “fell” from the tree, but I’m not going to confirm that.
Flared base for safety.
“turn to mush on the ground”
I think the other person meant that the missing letters up in the tree “leaves” form the ground row. So that the letters in the last row may complete all the other rows. I doubt that it matches but wont confirm that either.
They do match. It’s pretty neat.
I counted the letter “o”. It doesn’t match up.
I count three 'o’s on the bottom, from “common”, “problem”, and “poems”. Seems correct to me?
Edit:
Four 'u’s from “deciduous”, “autumn”, and “until”; three 't’s from “the”, “the”, and “themselves”; two 'r’s from “stirrings” and “arrives”; three 'n’s from “when”, “begin”, and “gently”…
And a “d” gently falling to complete the word
I love it, it’s a nice touch
I never said I was good at counting.
Found the LLM bot /s
Thanks for you work!
Guess I was wrong. Maybe it adds up.
Cool idea but that was hard to read lol
Once I figured out what was going on, reading it was much easier. Very clever.
Even then I had a hard time. “ar ives” gave me a hard time because I assumed "ar " was “are” and spent too long figuring out what “ives” was supposed to be
Yes, that’s the point
I never could get into poems much, but this is genius.

and so coldI’m not a fan of poetry either, but this is one I really love. It’s simple, direct. I love the unrepentant nature of the speaker
This poem was in my English classroom. I preferred the following one, though:
I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
I accosted the man.
“It is futile,” I said, “You can never —”
“You lie,” he cried,
And ran on.
unsure if the translations work well in english but checkout Christian Morgenstern, he made similar “silly” poems
Now I want some ASCII poems
System logs are kind of like poems that sometimes include ASCII art
Also this reminded me of oscilloscope music where the sound make images on an oscilloscope so you watch as you hear the music
