Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. Leonard Cohen

Tree-o-let

 Grace these boughs with rain and snow
Black winged angel of the wood
Sheltering the fawn and doe
Grace these boughs with rain and snow
Pine scented nests on earth below
Let doubters stand where Thoreau stood
Grace these boughs with rain and snow
Black winged angel of the wood.

I kind of clicked on this expecting to see a tree growing out of a toilet for some reason. I think I've been reading too many of Doug's made up words.

I don't think I could have ever worked "Thoreau" into a poem. Genius!
