Ancient mighty oaks <br />Again, begin <br />Their root-stomping <br />Noisy rants <br />Signaling <br />Torrents of <br />Tears for humanity <br />And we, <br />The true monarchs <br />Of this humankind <br />Wonder <br />Don’t you ever <br />Mow with love <br />Must you always <br />Destroy those lovely <br />Purple flower-topped <br />Milk-weeds <br /> <br />(Mountaintop Cottage, Tennessee <br />July 28,2006)<br /><br />Debora Short<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/milk-of-human-kindness/
