Hail to the Giants by Rebecca Moll
Hail to the Giants,
Heroes of yore,
The history you witnessed,
The secrets you store.
Mighty, Mighty Giants,
From forests to shore,
From the depths of the earth,
To the heavens, you soar.
Some centuries old,
Others decades, no more,
A haven, a shelter, a perch,
Your lore.
Mighty, Mighty, Giants,
How you came crashing down,
Alone in the forest,
Echoes the sound.
Algae, lichen, moss cling tight,
Eagles, Robins, and wrens take flight,
Your arms they reach so tall and wide,
Creation, life, a legacy you provide.
Willows, Maple, Oak and Pine,
Sycamore, Evergreen, Birch, Oh My!
Butternut, Walnut, Beech, and Lemon,
Apple, Peach, and Cherry, Oh Heavens!
Mighty, Mighty Giants,
What have you seen,
Hurricanes, earthquakes, hatred, and war,
Sunrise and sunsets, passionate amour.
Yet, why in creation,
Your silence was sworn?
The questions I’d ask,
The stories I’d learn.
Mighty, Mighty, Giants,
Heroes of yore,
Hail to the Giants,
Hail, forevermore.

Take a Trip to Lands Unknown, Thoughts upon reading Disappointment river by Brian Castner
Crooked, Drunken, and Dancing Forests
Two-thirds into Disappointment River by Brian Castner, I came across an interesting natural phenomena, Drunken Trees🤨
In traversing the great Deh Cho river in 1789, Alexander Mackenzie, after whom the river is now named, made note in his diary of trees tipped and dizzy, tumbling about.
Aptly named a Drunken Forest, this effect of alternating freezing and thawing of permafrost in our globe's most northern circumference proves an interesting sight.
Yet, "Drunken" falls short of the talented displays our timbering friends behold. Did you know they dance, strike poses, as well? Spruce ballerinas pirouette to a fault, Pine saplings tango in twos, and in Poland, they strike crooked poses, a forest of Vrikshasanas.
Dr. Suess said it true, "Oh, the Places You'll Go."
Take a trip to lands unknown,
Travel mighty rivers to forgotten seas,
Dance with trees,
Strike a pose,
Throw too many back, Forward you may go,
See the world in a whole new look,
All from the pages of one little book.
