Wrestling Match



The other day,
when in the forest,
I saw a wrestling match

that to some,
would seem
a mighty strange one.

black birds
cawed incessantly,
while I,

bent on hands and knees,
refereed a match
between two angry leaves...

    Yes, isn't it interesting that one can apply any activity in the world of "homo sapiens" to Nature. Thanks for your visit.
