The Forest
by Richard L. Provencher

is full of dips and peaks
and if you are careless it will eat you
alive.
Sometimes a branch may whip
your face and its brief scar
remind you this is not the city where
people are nice, at least sometimes
and the screech of an eagle
warning you are an intruder
and its lunch is just below the Falls
you admire with a photo shot.
So get out of the way and let this
Star in the woods descend on wings
that hover then fold slightly as
it screams downwards knowing those
quickening fins will never escape.

Richard enjoys writing poems; many of which have been published in Print and Online. He and his wife, Esther are also co-authors of stories and a print novel. They are "born again" Christians and very busy in their church, Abundant Life Victory International, in Bible Hill, Nova Scotia.
