Like a Bamboo, I Have Got to be Resilient

The tittle pretty much says it.

A storm surging
with its sharp claws
ready to rip the bounty lush
that are my tresses, limbs and roots.

But yes, I am young
The sky awaits for the stretches of my arms and fingers
The earth drools for my stomps, tears and excesses
And oh yes, yes like a bamboo, I have got to be resilient.

Well spoken! Bamboo is one of the best of metaphors. It's much more than resilient. It could be the subject of a rather long poem by those with mystic insight inspired by bamboo. Most anything may inspire, but bamboo is special. Bamboo and tea together make a good pair whose combination is greater than their sum.

Great anthropomorphic imagery here with a very concise use of language, which creates fantastic imagery - you can really imagine that you're there.
