This is my first attempt at writing poetry. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and am wondering if I could make it a 'forever '. It is an exciting feeling to write down your perspective about something and then wait to see if there were others who related to the same. Thought Twins, maybe?
So, here it goes...
PERSPECTIVE
Something was changing, without a doubt.
The honking, ranting and milling were petering out.
My neighbour rustled that the exalted species was in danger,
A virus breed being the candle-snuffer.
I breathed easy, shaking off dust and grime,
A shower would be nice, all in good time.
How my tenants sang- unbridled, clear and soothing!
A treat for my ears so clogged by din unflattering.
The grass blades hesitantly peeked out from the trampled ground,
Exalting in freedom newly found.
That was a year ago.
We had the high life.
I am lush and laden and untouched by an axe or knife.
Why then am I feeling forlorn,
My purpose of existence lost and gone?
Come back, walking on twos, for a lungful of oxygen,
Revel in smells, pure and earthen,
Stand, rest, hold hands or play,
My shade, fruits and love are to take away.
I don’t want you to disappear or die…
…we coexist, you and I.
