[__ Praise __] Poem: Crooked Little Branch

[Poet of Ephraim]

Crooked little branch in its private reach,
Unable to learn and so unfit to teach.
Shedding its leaves in the season of blossom,
Unsightly, unkempt, unsynchronised begotten.
Crooked little branch with his hopeful reaching,
Slow in understanding but hasty in teaching.
Naked of all strength whilst others are blossoming,
Upheld by mercy of the one who has begotten him.

~Poet of Ephraim
