Ash Tree Pantry

Ash Tree Pantry
16 Dec 2016

When the snow’s fallen all around,
During the coldest time of the year,
Birds can’t find food on the ground,
But the trees give sustenance and cheer.
In the yard’s a mountain ash tree.
It’s where the robins come to eat.
The red berries are as pretty as can be
And the birds enjoy them as a treat.
The leaves are all gone, blown away.
The branches are full of red berries,
Giving the robins a reason to stay
And be nature’s cheerful emissaries.

Lament and Vent

I haven’t felt up to par or normal all day

But I think I’ll go to the gym anyway,

I just hate a slight cold and not feeling well.

When five minutes on the treadmill is hell.

What’s even more irritating and irksome

Is the rhyming part of my brain still works some.
