Ode To Communicating with a Cedar Tree
Strophe
I
Oh ancient cedar so grand, huge and wise
In BC’s old growth glen;I. did encountered thee
I sat beneath your trunk and asked advice ;
I sensed the presence of the cedar tree
II
I did get a riposte to my surprise
The cedar roared you kill my kind ;ask my
advice?!
Begone human ,now! I won’t say this twice
Clearcutting removed these trees ;I. now paid
the price
III
I find these trees are beautiful and grand
I understand now this cedar’s dismay
It’s views I didn’t dismiss out of hand
I got up when done without a delay
Antistrophe
I
Clear cutting of a forest,not a crime
Helps species that can not tolerate shade
Wisely used, younger trees gets more sunshine
Species that can’t stand the shade have it made
II
Angel Oak , Giant redwood are grand too
There are plenty more grand trees one can
find
The next road trip you take ,find them, will you?
Try uniting with them will so blow your
mind
Epode
Huge and ancient trees,grand
Pick and choose,you’re dumb man
