An oxygen maker,
a flood abater, a carbon absorber,
a climate recorder, a healthy aspect, a place to reflect,
a nest for an owl, where gruffalos growl, a climbing frame,
the fuel for a flame, a soil stabiliser, a picnic sun-visor, a provider of fruit,
winter quarters for newts, the pages of a tome, the heart of a home,
a pollutant filter, a neighbourhood gilder, a treatment for fever,
a stress reliever, an artist’s spark, an ancient landmark,
a noise muffler, a bluetit’s supper’s supper,
a temperature reducer,
a primary producer,
a wind breaker,
a wood maker,
a natural sculpture,
just outside the front door
We love this wonderful poem by Rebecca Neal...hopefully the clever formatting comes out on your screen where the shape of the words makes the outline of a tree. |
