Doris Culverhouse Poet Free verse

Avian Abode

Solid white oak tree with stalwart branches.
God's creatures, bed and breakfast.
Refuge for the wayward kitten.
Hides the homes and young of the song birds
and scurrying squirrels.

Deep rooted to stand for ages and 
shade the lives of those who journey and stop to rest for
awhile below your splendorous branches.
