Lopsided Gum Tree

Tree with gum and other objects, Morelia, Michoacán, México

Old lopsided gum tree,
Loaded with strange treasure,
When my eyes behold you,
I am filled with pleasure!

First inclination was that this woman is dead….I hope not, but I still love the cheery poem and the collection of goodies there…..

  I believe that card with the woman’s photo is a lost student ID card.

A most interesting post. We actually had a sweet gum tree that we got gum off of. I am sure it was not like you are referring to tho.

The items left on this tree must have meant something to those who left them. Your poem fits perfectly with the photo.
