I Found a Red Barn

I found a red barn in the forest
                 quiet and still
                      the door ajar to darkness

I walked through soft thicket
                      through red rotted door frame

And into the peace of total silence

Though the birds chirped
                      notes 
                                through my ears

I love to see the old barns across this country. We have many abandoned relics around our county...I also submitted a poem about a barn for Deborah Guzzi's contest..there is something sad and lonely about an old barn that captures me! Nice poem, Matt! ~ Carrie

Sounds like a wonderful escape from the noise of the everyday world. Excellent imagery in this one. You really take the reader away with you in this piece. Smiles from Lolita
