Sadness... a poem i wrote
Permalink  

The strong and solitary tree


Stood high upon the hill


It showed its strength and beauty


Its shadows oh so still


 


The people came and overtook


That pretty tree one night


It only had its sun burnt limbs


To fight with all its might


 


The tree did loose


The axes won


The tree is broken down


The pieces trashed left and right


All upon the ground


 


The little stump is all that’s left


For people to destroy


They use that stump for purposes


That tree did not enjoy


 


Oh heavenly tree I miss you so


Your limbs of beauty and grace


I think about how strong you were


And long for your embrace.

Linda,


Have you ever read the book The Giving Tree by Shel Silverstein? It has some similar themes to your poem. You might find something for yourself in it if you see it at the library or bookstore.


I think you have a real way with words and I think it is very courageous to open your work to the group. You obviously are developing some broader confidence and are willing to trust the people here, and that is nice to see. Thank you so much for sharing your poem with us!


Love, Emmie
