Knots in the timber <br />Once limbs of a tree <br />Sliced into planks <br />For both you and me <br /> <br />If knots could tell stories <br />When branches held nests <br />Where young birds could perch <br />Of the old owl who rests <br /> <br />Do you ever wonder? <br />If timbers could sleep <br />Or do they feel pain <br />Is this why some knots weep? <br /> <br /> <br />© 2008 David Threadgold <br />Rambling Riddles
