Woodland

The mighty oak Wears its crown Of acorns with pride Giving life To the wood It takes centre stage soaring high Spreading its benevolent Reign outwards Robin and blackbird Sing praises From its outstretched arms Laden with hungry chicks Snug in their nests Butterflies dance In dappled shade Squirrels scramble skyward Woodpeckers tap out S-a-n-c-t-u-a-r-y

Nice scenery. Just don't let anyone with a cigarette butt near the tree. Smokey the bear would not like that.
