Eve Roper Poet Blank verse

Notes About The Poem

Old Tire Swing

Golden sun rays warm the  fields  as greens fade    
Hum speech breath revolve deep and silence lace
rustling reddish, tan, golden leaves astray   
emerald green garden  lawn looking up
gnarly old tree of deep raw umber shades
mid gold swaying canopy autumn leaves 
highest out stretched bough grasp the  fraying rope 
overseer over the aged tire swing

In savor peace caught swaying sole pensile
An old somber tire swing rotting away 
Espy hushed cries for human yielding wings 
legs over tires edge on ardent warm days
