June

Again
The woods
Are green

And sunlight shines
Through summer leaves
On the ground
Red poppies grow

The water from
Last night’s rain
Stands in still pools
In deep depressions
In the forest floor

A small squirrel
Ignorant of any sacrilege
Searches for food
Among slivered bones
Rusted fragments
Of broken wire

And as always
As then
Though obviously
Of course being
Another era of birds  . . .

There are larks
In trees
Long since grown

Singing

Hauntingly beautiful. The solitude and the quiet isolation is so real---one can hear the sound of dry twigs cracking beneath the feet . . .

The victory of nature over men's interferences in its harmony.

Beautiful!

The line breaks are a little off and the ending could be stronger, but at least you do have talent.

fine imagery in this impressionistic
'slice of forest life' write!

I am particularly fond of:

"The water from
Last night’s rain
Stands in still pools
In deep depressions
In the forest floor

A small squirrel
Ignorant of any sacrilege
Searches for food
Among slivered bones
Rusted fragments
Of broken wire"

serious applause for this 'penning'!!
