poem of the day January 30 

Big oak fell

at Lida's house

So big 

So strong

Oak was un-fall-able  

but it fell

still looking very strong

right across the road

landing like a big fan

Trapping the house

Oak had to be cut away

It took a while 

Too long for her kids

who could not wait

and needed to

be rescued 

from a change in plans

by a red car rescuer 

who waited for them

on the other side of big fallen oak
