[hometext] => Well I've been away for a bit due in part to writer's block, but now I'm back and would like to post the first thing I've written in weeks. Part true story, part imagination, which I believe is the way most things turn into in our minds.
[bodytext] => The Rain poured down that summer day,
On a lonely Maple Tree.
The Wind pitched in and made it sway;
It was such a sight to see.
Wind and Rain continued to pound
The Tree with awesome power.
The Sun’s light had yet to be found,
But the Tree did not cower.
The Sun lit up but did not halt
The havoc the duo made.
It was no judge; there was no fault,
and offered the Tree no aid.
The Tree just swayed and held its ground,
Having all the strength needed.
But lightning struck with thund’rous sound;
I saw that Tree defeated.
I ran out to see the demise
Of that Tree and wondered “why?”
But then I saw to my surprise,
Its Leaves were eerily dry…

Glad to see your dry spell is over Marc! This is a really good write, with great flow and flawless rhyming. I like the way you present the rain, wind, sun, and tree...Almost like entities...You gave this poem some good descriptive qualities, and I must say, I enjoyed it!!

I'm glad you're back! I guess it wasn't too bad you left because:
I have sucessfully read every single one of your poems posted here! :)
I am very proud of myself lol, but I am more proud of you, you're writing is breathtaking and full of meaning I love every line of anything you write.
As for this poem its so creepy! That ending is like a mystery/horror clifhanger, this is a wonderful piece! You did a nice job in portraying all the aspects of the rain,sun, lightening and tree.
Great write,
Amanda |

Marc, the stuff that you write about is so original and really creative! I couldn't come up with something like this even if my life depended on it.
I'm going through an enormous writting block too (seems to be happening a lot!) but I'm glad that you have come out of yours and are writting master peices again! It's great to have you back and I look forward to reading more!

Ah, now there's a depth of metaphor in this piece which is very impressive. It's enough to get one thinking, as I think I shall be doing. Bravo!

| The end of this poem makes it a perfect metaphor. But, even if you hadn't added that last stanza, it would have been a very good poem. I actually felt sorry for that poor gallant tree. |
