Our ten-minute free-write is back for another round! Tap away on whatever comes to mind, no filters attached. (Feel free to edit later, or just publish as-is).
OK, I haven’t blogged a poem for a while. 10 minutes worth it is………….
When The Trees Came Down
When the trees came down, such weight!
I felt the sound deep through my feet,
The ground passed on the strain.
I thought it strange then, so loud an end,
I had not ever heard them rise.
Only the sly deep rumble,
That was background to my life.
What’s left of the trees in the field by my house
More words…. .

Absolutely beautiful poem, and so doleful in its gentle observation.
“I thought it strange then, so loud an end,
I had not ever heard them rise.”
Lines so potent for me. Wonderful write. So many thoughts stirred.
Happy to have found your blog. Happy weekend to you, cheers,
Autumn Jade
