Stern Grove
by Louisa (Oakes Children's Center)
Eucalyptus scented soggy path
Dog in the Lead
He greets the others with a sniff & wag
Canine parties indeed
The air cools my face & my thoughts
As the trees shed their skin leaving
all the green & brown on the ground
Subtle traffic sounds under the
calls of blue jays & red tailed hawks.
City scape surrounds the urban
forest I use as my escape
