Notes About The Poem

Suspicious Nature

Rustling leaves I see
Echoing behind me
Twisted branches in a frenzy
Shiver my spine instantly.
Is that a mysterious face
Hiding inside an arboreal place?
Do I stay or do I flee?
Is that something I fear in the tree?
Will it follow or will it watch intently?
I am still with curiosity.

This piece gave me an inkling of a feeling like a goosebump in its seeding. A mystery from when it starts, an awe May it plot. The suspicious a feeling yes it be, was it a shadowy figure following thee?!

Thank you, I think so too. But this creepy figure in the woods surprised me - see my pic. Nature is not always as expected

Nature always unfolds creative questions if looked at closely. Glad you picked up poetry from my favourite muse!
