The Poet by *warzonestoic:iconwarzonestoic:

Categories Literature > Poetry > Human Nature > Free & Blank Verse


The evergreen trees that I always wrote about
have been cut down, village ordinances have deemed
them too unsafe to be allowed to continue.

The poet is often a man you pass by every day, not
realizing what spiritual or sensual thoughts often
are waiting to be poured out onto his keyboard when
he gets home.

Do you remember the time you once walked past me
as I was gazing in awe at the evergreen trees?

Absolutely wonderful. You are truly a legend, as a philosopher and poet.

If I'm to fall
Would you be there to applaud?
Or would you hide behind them all?
'Cause if I were to go
In my heart you'll grow
And that's where you belong.

So many people don't realize the talents in people they see every day. That's nothing new. But the loss of such a beautiful majestic this is something to be sorry for.

Too unsafe?? >:-|

And oh, our outward appearances never describe what lies within . . .

Hm, what is that poem I am reminded of . . . we sang it once in chorus . . . "Whose woods these are I think I know . . ."

Hanging over cars in the parking lot
at 45 degree angle. I agree, they
were unsafe, but their perseverence
and continuous growth inspired me.

I've never heard of that song...
you sing?

Oh, I see . . . yes, they persevered until Man got there . . .

Yup. :sing: I love it.
That is a poem by Robert Frost:
Whose woods these are I think I know,
His house is in the village though.
He will not see me stopping here,
To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer,
To stop without a farmhouse near,
Between the woods and frozen lake,
The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake,
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

this random but related

theres a fight going on at the moment about the fig trees in the main street of out town

they're part of the heritage, but some people on the local council want to cut them down because of their age

the council is actually the town next over, but they preside over us and dont care about us at all, except if we have a tourist attraction and then they call it their own

anyway, it reminds me of that, and im kind of grateful that they arent being cut down because of it
