My Canopy

My Canopy

Imagine creatures

flying through

the canopy

or just lay beneath

and observe:

chickadee chirping

squirrel chattering

robin snooping

purple house finch swooping

butterfly fluttering

caterpillar creeping

beetle eating

all the while

light and shadow

play tag

with fairies

dancing:

all in the world of

my tree.
