Entry #491221, added on 02-28-07 @ 1:57 pm EST.    [Entry Access Restriction] None. Title: THE VILLAGE OAK THE VILLAGE OAK Once I too was a mighty oak That ruled the village side, My stem solid like iron, My branches far and wide. My verdant shade was heaven for The lonely traveler. I gave succor to all who came, I refused it never. But now that I am old and weak My branches are rotting. My leaves are no longer shiny. On dry roots I’m trotting. I can’t weather any more storms. I must heed nature’s call. I stood upright two hundred years. But now I must, too, fall. • Written in abcb, 8-6-8-6 format. • Written for “Fyn's Fynominal Contest!”, "Fyn's Fynominal Contest!"  • Please copy and paste the following in your review: This is a review for “entry:491221", taking care to substitute the inverted commas by paentheses { }.
