Wel, that is just a wonderful poem, I can see that oak tree it was so well described, a poem at its best.
UH! JUST PERFECT. I have long loved trees. My mom has a Pin Oak out front of our house. It is the most beautiful and massive tree. I've known it for 25 years! It's home to many animals as you can imagine. I have grown to have some sort of relationship with the trees. Whether at my moms or at Pennypack or just along drives.

I appreciate this poem so much! Great one!
Wow, i haven't read all your poems posted here yet, because they are alot, but this is definitely my favorite read so far. That is absolutely a beautiful poem. I love it.
Beautifully penned poem Dick - your tree sounds wonderful. I have a monkey puzzle in the front garden which is my treasure.
