Susan Palli Poet Haiku

Summer Oak

magestic grand oak 
providing shelter in rain
attracts lightning bolt

magestic grand oak
providing shade in summer 
relieves scorched field hands

magestic grand oak
providing refuge from stress
creates peaceful state

magestic grand oak
providing recreation
brings joy to children

magestic grand oak
providing tasty acorns
feeds happy squirrels

magestic grand Creator
providing nature's gifts
shows His love for us
