Old Oak Tree

Daily writing promptWhat is the legacy you want to leave behind?View all responses

Not a legacy of ashes, dust on the wind
Blackened remains on a metal sheet
Sprinkled on the water, children’s tears

Compost slowly, patience with grandpa
Consumed by earth, of fertile ground
Oak tree saplings, roots tangled deep

Let time pass, birds nest, squirrels play
Stretch wide, leaf burst cooling shade
Thick trunk fattens, generations forget

You know that tree there, and who it is?
Who? That old tree isn’t a who, its a tree?
That old tree was, my grandpa told me.

Cicada’s summer

Coemergent calls
Overwhelmed sky’s
Underworldly calls

Punched skyward
Progenitors’ flight 
Earthbound ward

Whorling song
Fills bird bellies
Drowns birdsong 

Amber carapace
Blood ruby eyes
It’s on my face!

Invitation – Share your pages here

Daily writing promptHave you ever broken a bone?View all responses

This prompt is a bit, meh.

If you want to share a link to your page, and a brief description of what your page is about I’m inviting it. Don’t be spammy, but if you do, that is your loss. I’d imagine in an age of oversaturation people are cautious to click random links. Make it interesting.

For myself.
