Barren Habitats

When harsh winds strip the trees of leaves,
nesting creatures shiver and grieve.

How I worry about those nesting creatures. We feed hundreds of birds daily. Sorry to be so absent lately - too much going on. I'll get caught up. Hope you are doing well and had a great Thanksgiving. Love, daver

Wonderful, simply wonderful write! I think this poem is beyond even what people are thinking of it on the surface! Deep inside the poem there is a much deeper meaning to it! Just look inside and see what I mean!! Awesome Work!!
