Ode To Communicating with a Cedar Tree

Strophe I O ancient cedar tree so grand and wise In BC’s old growth forest ,I found thee I sat beneath your trunk and asked advice ; I sensed the presence of the cedar tree II I received a riposte to my surprise Cedar shouted my blood dead ? Ask my rede ?! Begone two legs I will not speak this twice Clear cut plans for old growth glens, sad ,'nuff said III I find these trees are beatific and grand. I grasp the cedar’s anger ,felt dismay. Its views I did not dismiss out of hand. I got up when done without a delay. Antistrophe I The Angel Oak ,Redwood trees are lovely too. There are more beatific trees that folk will find. The next road trip you take find them can you? This method is broadly better design. II Clear cutting of a forest,not a crime. Helps species that cannot endure the shade, Wisely used younger trees gets sunshine. Trees that can not stand the shade have it made III Feeling bad about seeing forests tree free Try tree planting along denuded frontier Hard work to bring back its ancient beauty And tree seeding is gold ,be a volunteer Epode I Huge Ancient trees with such a huge life span. All ancient trees cry out to be adored Pick and choose,you’re a narrow minded man. Mind meld with trees is your reward. II Clear cutting cost is to high for younger trees And boreal clear cutting -a climate threat They need light ,try selective cutting please. And stop this action there will be no regret III Balance is scales of justice is the best scheme Keep the woods for a-future generations Create an ecosystem that is a dream Reforestation has vast reparations
