Did you know, I used to be a bit of a poet? In the years after high school, I wrote hundreds of classic type poems. Here's an early one.

Of The Wind
Have you ever listened to the wind,
To what it has to say
As it changes emotion
Inside a single day?

In early morning waking up,
Rustling upon it's feet
Softly stirring sunfilled sky
With warmth for me to greet

Resting in the mid of day,
Steadfast and motionless
For the earth to soak up the heat
Till I can feel it in my breath

Strolling round the last of day,
Cooling down the air
Singing me to sleep at night
With pleasant rhymes it bears.

Fodder trees are just trees that grow leaves, nuts, or fruit for livestock feed. I have over 1,000 fodder trees on a small coppice lot…
