Okay; we're somehow already a third of the way through April. How did that happen?
Today's "Two-for-Tuesday" prompts are:
- Write a Forest poem.
- Write a Tree poem.
You can literally write about a forest. Or you can literally write about a tree. Or you can dive right into the metaphor separating the two. Your choice. Get creative with it.
Here's my attempt:
"Trees"
They often blend together
when they're packed together
like that. I mean, one branch
bends around another and
another but not touching,
save when the wind blows hard.
I mean, it's hard to pick
a favorite--until I find
one so twisted and unique
that I want to live inside
it or build a house beside
the tree beside the stream
that carries my thoughts to you.
I mean, you're always on my mind.
