Eight-line Poems

Under the Greenwood Tree

Under the Greenwood Tree

The sun shines daily on the forest leaves,
while we walk below in shadowed eaves,
a cathedral of great towering trunks,
and hopefully no sign of skunks,
this woody paradise of filtered light,
you’ll remember if you’ve seen the sight,
good Robin’s onetime cheerful abode -
I’ve finished now so must hit the road.
