Special thanks to Daniel Island resident and author Crystal Klimavicz for crafting the following poem about our majestic and thought-provoking Live Oaks while taking part in our “Art in the Park” event in September 2014. Crystal shared her work at the Daniel Island Historical Society’s Winter/Spring kick-off program on January 20!
A Haiku by Crystal Klimavicz, local author of Falling Through Trees
Oak trees rising high
Their sturdy trunks, winding branches, draping leaves
Tower over all
Children playing ‘round
Ducks waddling, people strolling, bikers whizzing by
Smiles, laughter abound
Trees offer us shade
Yet so much more with support, hope and life
Protecting, guiding
All those who go by
Nurturing the souls of the park and all her guests
To stand tall, rise high
