"I could feel that the torch / Of the land I once knew / Was still burning / In you"


Poem Artwork

Present

 

for Kaye

 

Full of the future and

In Texas up a tree

The world fresh in your hand

But you don't quite know it

You remind me of me

Young friend fellow poet

 

Grandma called from the porch

She was wondering where

You were

I was glad you were there

With her

 

I could feel that the torch

Of the land I once knew

Was still burning

In you

 

And it turned my despair

Into yearning

Trees have so much meaning to so many people and I belief keep memories that even we forget. I think you proved that with this poem Steven.

Say Something Terrorible v3 by RickthePoetWarrior

My mom says ‘If you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything’. Sorry mom but under the guise of poetic license I penned these beauties.
