Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Forest Haven

Forest shadows
Hiding grave secrets
Protecting her animals
Seeing humans for who they are
Keeping wise counsel

Revealing nothing
Sweeping secrets into her dead leaf piles
Allowing dust to dust
Sanctuary for some
Refuge for all

Ann Caren Krutsinger July 26, 2019 at 11:40 AM I live in this forest, Ann. I was out there, tromping around, looking for snakes, finding all kinds of hidden delights this morning.

Michelle Faulkner July 25, 2019 at 3:16 PM Yes I think animals do see humans for what we are - and flee! (except our pets who see us as treat dispensers!) Caren Krutsinger July 26, 2019 at 11:40 AM We are treat dispensers. Exactly write!
