Tree Identification & Glossary : Oak cycle

O.A.K.

Oak, Old As Knowledge.

A wooden town,

Bearing grail cups of green and brown.

Shade for insects in its crinkled bark,

Pools of quiet light and dark.

Oak apple wasp sustained,

Nesting birds contained,

Flow of life maintained.

In woodland glade or solitary grown,

From acorn seed squirrel sown.

Oak, Old As Knowledge.
