Wisdom of Trees

aged oak branches out —
fledgling opens palm to clutch
the mentor’s handshake

Kim, this is a really good haiku. Those trees really do appear to be shaking "hands"! Janice

I was so surprised. I am doing a bible study on being a godmother…why you need one…how to be one by Lisa Bevere. So this inspired my poem :) Thank you!

Regina I really enjoyed your poem. If trees could communicate, this one could tell you how many birds have lived in it over time. Excellent writing. Blessings ~ Debra
