Honey Locust

I like the honey locust trees, the ones with the long sharp hazardous thorns on their trunks. The honey locust grows tall and wide. The sunlight shimmers on the ground beneath its lacy foliage.

The honey locust’s leaves do not fall until November, and trick me into believing it is still summer on Autumn days. It is another kind of thorn they have, the kind that pricks the heart.
