What a mighty artwork of nature <br />So tall and strong <br />Birds perch on its stout branches <br />And sing heavenly songs <br />Squirrels scamper along its <br />Hardy trunk <br />Gathering nuts I suppose <br />It’s branches full of green <br />Cast shadows on the most likely things <br /> <br />It’s leaves turn golden, red, and orange <br />What a delightful sight, <br />The tree so bitter and bare <br />Doesn’t cast a shadow here or <br />There <br />It shivers in the cold night air <br />Hoping for spring hoping for change <br />To gather its green leaves <br />And cast shadows once again <br /> <br /> <br />A bird chirps outside <br />The wind blows in a n out <br />Tossing leaves about. <br />The sun peaks threw the clouds <br />And illuminates the earth <br />Butterflies splutter threw the air <br />Kissing flowers here and there. <br />A squirrel makes a nest high in a tree <br />In hopes that no thing will catch it you see<br /><br />Melanie Dickie<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-mighty-oak-2/
