IN THOSE WOODS YONDER
In those woods yonder he walked with his wise grandfather
Flora and fauna expertly identified, felt, smelt and touched
The smooth-barked beech with sharp pointed small leaves
The shag-barked hickory seemed to forever peel away
The locust with sharp hidden thorns menaced climbers all
The acorn laden oak stood solid, tall, strong, and defiant
"Grandson, in this life you'll meet people who are like trees
