Melanie Dickie - The Mighty Oak

What a mighty artwork of nature
So tall and strong
Birds perch on its stout branches
And sing heavenly songs
Squirrels scamper along its
Hardy trunk
Gathering nuts I suppose
It’s branches full of green
Cast shadows on the most likely things

It’s leaves turn golden, red, and orange
What a delightful sight,
The tree so bitter and bare
Doesn’t cast a shadow here or
There
It shivers in the cold night air
Hoping for spring hoping for change
To gather its green leaves
And cast shadows once again


A bird chirps outside
The wind blows in a n out
Tossing leaves about.
The sun peaks threw the clouds
And illuminates the earth
Butterflies splutter threw the air
Kissing flowers here and there.
A squirrel makes a nest high in a tree
In hopes that no thing will catch it you see
