Notes About The Poem

Contest: Andaree Me Again

Sponsor: Andrea Dietrich

Favorite Tree Andaree

The anger and yelling are too much to bear.
There must be a quiet place somewhere.
Run from your home - out the door! 
Climb way up on your
Favorite 
Tree.
Savor it.
Don't fret anymore.
Gaze afar to the lake's shore. 
The birds are more than happy to share.
The anger and yelling are too much to bear.

Andrea Dietrich April 29, 2024 at 8:37 AM This would be even higher if it were punctuated. I love it. Congrats David Crandall May 8, 2024 at 8:16 AM I just realized, I can go back and edit - it's punctuated now! David Crandall April 29, 2024 at 7:37 PM It was interesting exercise to give a try at writing in this form. I enjoyed it. David Crandall April 29, 2024 at 7:27 PM Thanks Andrea - glad you liked it! I'll remember about the punctuation.

Crystol Woods April 14, 2024 at 6:23 AM Love this...I see a young child running from adult conflict and finding a refuge. Stark and real, thank you for sharing! Favorite line, "the birds are more than happy to share". David Crandall April 14, 2024 at 8:36 AM Thanks Crystol, the only thing not real is there's no lake by my childhood house :-) One time I laughed when a friend of mine told me that her husband, a middle-aged man with 4 kids, climbed a tree after getting into an argument with her.

Arthur Vaso April 14, 2024 at 1:48 AM To escape into nature, wonderful as is this poem. David Crandall April 14, 2024 at 8:32 AM Thanks Arthur, and agreed about nature, it's always calming to me to be in the presense of plants and animals.
