Oak Sprite Man and His Sixth Sense

Oak sprite man climbed up a piece of the bark To get a little higher, to peer into the bowels of the forest. They were coming; he could sense them They had not been in this part of the forest for a long time Spider’s webs as large as a bull’s back should have deterred them But he knew they were determined What is it? His wife asked. Shh! He cautioned her. I think it is humans. Not this far out, she assured him. They would not dare. But they did And they built a house there. After bulldozing his favorite tree. He never forgave them Played tricks on them for years Just to show he could.

I am visited by brownies, pixies, faeries and elves on a regular basis. My car keys and house keys have been missing for seven weeks; I know they will put them back after they are finished playing.

Imagine the degree and extent of every animal revenge on humans who have treated the animal kingdom as theirs to do with as they selfishly please! Humans and animals are intricately and inseparately connected. / M

Too many trees have been cut down and too many houses have been built that we have to stand up and say enough is enough! Superb imagination dearest, Caren . Hugs xxx

We have bulldozed full grown trees three times to build three different houses; I always feel horrified when the trees go. Always!

I want to know what tricks he played! Love the Spider’s webs as large as a bull’s back!

I think this could be my sequel. I may just have to do it, Kim. Thanks for the thought.
