A Sestina on old growth forests

Old growth forests are a sight to behold Humans wiping them out makes me angry Politicos who support this can go to Hell Angel Oaks,giant cedars and Redwoods These are some of my favoured trees, I say General Sherman -a most ancient tree Angel Oak boughs are coiled ,I love this tree All the ancient trees ;divine to behold Lay my ashes neath an Oak tree I say Clear cut forrests they made me quite angry Giant cedars ,grand -behold the Redwoods Those who wreck ancient forests go to Hell Ancient forests wrecked I'm angry as Hell The huge red oak is one hell of a tree Other beatific trees are the Redwoods Angrboda ‘s tree -lovely to behold Cutting these trees down-I'm bloody angry Politicos should pay a price: I say Old growth forests are a biome, I say Those who destroy them are stupid as Hell Lay waist to old growth forests?-I'm angry I sat still under a huge cedar tree Hike thru these forests a sight to behold I wonder what critters live in Redwoods I wish I can visit the grand Redwoods I'm wheelchair bound do not know what to say Walked thru a small old growth woods nice to behold The woods were denuded of old trees,oh Hell Old growth Cedars are one hell of a tree Most of the old growth gone makes me angry Logging roads in BC grave ,I’m angry Love to muse beneath a pair of Redwoods What type of vibe will I get from that tree? Protest the harm of old growth woods; I say If you don’t help out ,I'm angry as Hell Clear cut woods from a plane -shock to behold Envoi: Burn old growth woods angry I say Stop logging Redwoods ,no,oh Hell An Angel oak tree I want to behold
