The tree I sit under has filled with chickadees,
tiny, black and grey and white,
fluttering strong wings,
peeps and cheeps of outrage to find their table occupied,

the lookout calling, high,
high above

A hand outstretched in any direction could reach a dozen perches

This money can not buy.

(this really happened to me

this was my seat (except I do have a pillow that I stash in the branches of this Wayward Pine)

What a serene little space you have. In my pine trees, you would find in arms' reach the perches of a dozen palmetto bugs... eww.
