夏秋之际，每每去京东怀柔密云一带野游，总见到满山漫坡挂满沉甸甸栗子球的板栗树。那浑身缀满钢针般利刺的球果，总透着一股凌然不可侵犯的威严。想那秋后香糯甜美的果仁，却禁不住别生一番感慨：

                                                                   铁色枝干撑绿荫，

                                                                   穗花形色难诱人。

                                                                   披针果球枝头挂，

                                                                   狂张利刺敢谁凌。

                                                                   自知内含乾坤妙，

                                                                   生就远拒肖小身。

                                                                   待到金风几番后，

                                                                   裂腹敞脐吐山珍。
