White oak, tulip poplar and loblolly pine trees grow up to 48 meters or 156 feet in this forest. "I love haiku for the brevity and power of the medium.

" are published in The Best Haiku 2025 Collection 5 #book, now available at http://tinyurl.com/TheBestHaiku/ (other countries may vary).

Hope springs up like a
fountain spilling over heart
borders and fears too

The fall fountain falls
Gently on the hurting place
protecting one's peace
