It’s the middle of the month challenge ~ time for a photo prompt!
This month Colleen used a photo chosen by last month’s “Photo-Prompt” Poet of the Week ~ Jane Dougherty.

For the Birds
In
Midway
of ocean
Trees reach to sky
Haven, they built for
Birds, northbound and southbound
Water rises, heads go higher
Roots skinnier, refuse to be drown
Tens of thousands years they’ve survived
Until the last inhale, they will try

Thank you, Diana. The Arctic is changing rapidly in the last 5 years. It has more green than white. Humans surely will have a different way of living, so do the animals and nature if they survive.

Yes, Jane! I was in Seattle and watching Mt. St. Helen eruption in 1980 and and went back a few years ago to see life coming back gradually. It’s amazing.
