New picture, improved poem!

This poem was inspired by a regrown forest. In about 2009, my husband Jorge and I visited family members in Montana, and we saw an incredible sight: burned-out trunks of trees standing side by side with fresh, green ones. I believe the original fire had been in 1988.

I can't locate the original photos I took of this amazing sight, but my sister Tricia, who lives in Montana, saw a similar scene while hiking there recently with her family, and was kind enough to take the above photo for me.

Originally I had used a FanArt photo for the Tree Hugger contest, which may or may not have been from a burned-out forest, but this one certainly is.

Thank you, Tricia Gunning McCormack!

The poem has also been slightly revised.
