Linda Jackson Poet Free verse

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

Robert Pettit January 22, 2014 at 7:30 PM Nice scenery. Just don't let anyone with a cigarette butt near the tree. Smokey the bear would not like that. Linda Jackson January 23, 2014 at 10:58 AM Thank you for your comments. Best wishes Linda x
