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

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
