Ancient Covered Bridge

Ancient covered bridge mouth open Invite in the colorful yellow aspen Weather washed planks neatly shapen Sandy road leads into dark interior dampen Invite in the colorful yellow aspen Let them dance inside see what happens Inside your braced solid strength sharpen Weather washed planks neatly shapen Stretch planks of ancient times deepen Our youth bring them forth enlighten Sandy road leads into dark interior dampen Damp sand of antiquity new ideas ripen Let our nation come back enlighten Trimeric form

I love how my mind can see this piece as a moving oil painting. Impressive.

Wonderful, rustic autumn imagery in this poem! It made me think of "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow". A lovely and charming poem, Sara!...Thank you for your kind visit!

Regardless of form, you pen a wonderful scene. Such picturesque phrasing almost allows the reader to hear the hoof beats of the horses pulling carriages through the darkened passage way.... Great writing... Love ya dearly..... Jake
