“Tree Stumps”

 
“Tree Stumps”
 
cji
1/22/13
 
Scattered here and there about
limbs and rumble from a forest
laid naked for all able to see
birds no longer linger to sing
found in rows of tree stumps;
 
Once game or hunter to scout
birds, crickets, bugs to chorus
now only vacant seen to be
echoes of axes long ago to ring
remaining only tree stumps!
