Ohhh...i hate to see the trees going down. But this is happening everywhere. I like the tone of light sarcasm in this poem. When nothing else works, we get down to cutting. A very thoughtful n thought-provoking write.

Daniel- -I love this to pieces - - - well, maybe not pieces because it is magnificent in its whole. I just hope that no body will take you seriously and cut down a shady neighbor- - or perhaps I should say leafy neighbor- - who has hung by our sides through generations of springs, fall, winters, and summers. I love your life affirming poetry, Daniel, as well as that winsome sense of humor of yours! A 10 for this tree-hugging poem and its flag [or pen] waving defender of all things green! ! ! !

I've enjoyed the 2 new poems you've just posted: the first from the child's perspective - a poem filled with the exuberant fantasy and 'positivity' of childhood - , and this one, where such positivity is crushed by the 'negativity' of the ''common thought'' of men.. Maybe, we should remain children forever..
