Image On a Wall

The image was a tree, simply at night It was an ancient picture that formed tall The tree was grand, displaying a great sight Exposing the scene of a tree made tight The painting which is produced on the mall The image was a tree, simply at night The picture of this tree was of delight Not a one limb would make you want to bawl The tree was grand, displaying a great sight White flowers on this tree carries with might It’s an awesome sight that sits on the wall The image was a tree, simply at night I surely loved to view this tree tonight The view of the beautiful tree has gall The tree was grand, displaying a great sight The picture has a fixture that’s airtight I see this painting when I come and call The image was a tree, simply at night The tree was grand, displaying a great sight Russell Sivey

Dear Russell: A somewhat surreal tree in a mindscape theatre. Nice read in hypnotic repetition of familiar sounds, like spontaneous soothing echoes. Leon

Russell; i can almost picture that tree. You describe so well. I always admired the trees, wheather they are in full bloom, or naked. Thanks for sharing... Lucilla

Interesting topic for your Villanelle..I wonder what kind of tree or is it a metaphor for someone who tries to live right and has great strength..Thanks for stopping by..I hope that Karter will have some good memories of Granny's home..Sara
