The human spirit needs places where nature has not been rearranged by the hand of man Author Unknown A metal rail now mocks the space where a massive trunk once rose two hundred feet, and a long stairway, and a sign,and a doorway make up ‘The Stump Hotel.’ As a roadside attraction this once magnificent tree is more suggestive of an amputee whose prosthesis could never recapture the living limb or, a whisper of the spark within. Think -of the many who came and stood, here on this altered stump. Did anyone look up to see its phantom trunk rising to the moon? 101 in a ROW contest - 12 Contest Judged: 9/8/2016 10:36:00 AM Sponsored by: Poet Destroyer A 8th Place Published in “ PS, It’s Poetry” Anthology available on Amazon.
