#NaPoMo#NationalPoetryMonth#PoemADay#April2021#day4 It's always nice to see the sunshine so it inspired my short poem for day four. Trying to distract myself from the fact my husband died on this date 7 years ago...hard to believe how fast time flies...sunshine is a great distraction...always lifts my mood. Happy Easter!
It's day three already of National Poetry Month...doing a poem a day...looked at a couple of prompts....one was about communication and another was What I'm trying to say...this sort of fits those categories...communicating what poetry writing is like...
It's day 2 of National Poetry Month April 2021...true story here...always trust your intuition! I am having second thoughts about that last line...kinda torn between cuz I didn't listen and because I didn't listen hmmm it works either way I suppose...
I am so sad and devastated that I had to cut down my tree today. It was really causing lots of damage with its roots and on windy days made me nervous watching some of the branches sway...it was really overgrown way out of control quite awhile now. I know I waited far too long to do it and yet I just was not ready for it. It took up the whole yard. It was a shade umbrella that united with a grapevine on the fence to create a bit of a jungle and refuge from the heat. Now the yard looks naked and like a desert. It just won't be the same without it and am sure I will miss the shade and beauty of the tree. I really felt I had no other choice in the matter. I feel like a hypocrite always signing petitions for nature for the environment and animals and then going and killing my own tree...can't stop crying about it. I will miss it dearly. It did such a great job and has been here with me nearly thirty years. I love you tree and thank you kindly for the years of shade and beauty you provided me. It was always polite when it trimmed itself too being careful never to hit the house or cause any damage....so sad to lose a dear old friend. It won't be the same without it. Rest in peace tree. Please forgive me. I wish I could have found a way around it.
I have had a tree in my yard ever since I moved in close to thirty years ago now...it has grown out of control...probably waited longer than I should have to do this but I really love that tree and really will miss it when it's gone and really don't see anyway around doing this and so there are tears about it this morning so I thought I would write a poem about it...A tree job estimator is supposed to come out this afternoon so anticipating that putting this all into motion is making me very sad...and so Tears for a Tree poem was born...
