Mini contest thing?

Hey guys I had a fun idea.

I was feeling quite bored and was just scrolling through my other accounts because that's what I do when I'm bored, and I started reading my old poetry book (which actually isn't very old at all) when I came up with the idea.

So I've been wanting to hold a poetry contest in my contest book (foreshadowing for those who read my contest book) and figured why not hold a poetry-related mini contest in my art book? Because interaction is fun and I'm bored lmao.

Many of you might know I write poetry? I used to write it a lot more, but I usually write poems spontaneously whenever I get a good idea. Most of my better poems are the ones that are very open for interpretation, but no one ever tries to interpret them? Like I always say the beauty of art is the meaning to each individual and I want to know what they mean to people, but no one reads it except friends and random people that happen to come across my other account. I like to hear people's opinions and interpretations and how they differ from mine! Soooo I decided to force you guys to interpret my poetry lmao.

I'm kidding I'm kidding. Slightly?

To the point, I wrote this poem awhile back (inspired by a street name, mind you) that I absolutely adore (for good reasons) and one of the main reasons I love it is because no one understands it. Everyone I've asked has no idea what the poem means, but they always just ask me what it means instead of finding their own meaning. So I want you guys to give me your meanings! If you're anything like me, analyzing something like a poem or song is really fun. I don't expect any of you guys to "get it right" I'm just very curious. The poem is called "Trees." Here it is:

8 little sprouts
A new one grows
But I can't count to 10
So I cut one down
And now there's 9 again

Have fun interpreting that mess lmao. No really I mean it. Have fun.

To make it interesting, whoever most closely matches the "original meaning" (aka my meaning) gets a prize! A drawing. Aaaaand since my phone is broken and I can't post shit, you won't know until I'm able to post from my phone. 

Remember there are no limits. The poem can mean literally anything. No interpretation or idea is stupid or wrong! Remember, I want to know what you guys come up with. So don't refrain from commenting because you think your idea is "wrong." 

I hope you guys like the poem and this unnecessarily long chapter! If you liked the poem, you can check out my poem book on my other account, Shorai_no_chosha. I have two of them. Shamelessselfpromo. 

OKAY BYE SEE YOU WHEN I GET MY PHONE FIXED!
