Heart of the Woods
Is the woodpecker in love
With the sound of his pecking,
Or perhaps he is
With the tree he is wrecking.
Is his rat-a-tat-tat
A delight to his ears,
Does his thock-thock-thock
Reduce him to tears
Of joy as he beats
His resonating rhythm
Through the woods
As he eats
One more bug.
This page contains writings about trees, and tree-related subjects, from our members. The poem above was written by our librarian, Martha Orton, after a spring walk.
