Hey Soupers this my attempt at Gregory Bardens lastest contest. Feel free to give me your honest opinions/ feedback on how I could improve it. To be honest I have know if it's correct.
I saw him from afar, a lonely oak tree,
both of his eyes contained such misery.
I wanted to know his story,he's a mystery.
He looks so sad, I wanted him to be happy,
Our eyes met and he beckoned me.
I saw him come to life right before my eyes.
He was happy again, he took off his disguise,
No longer hurt from heartbreak and many lies,
He was now free from life’s overwhelming sighs.
That lively oak touched me right down to the core
We had a bond and friendship, I couldn't ask for more
I’m just happy the pain he carried, he no longer bore
His compassion and intelligence just blew me away
I’m forever grateful that I met him, it was a great day
Our connection will last until the end of time and beyond!
For he is now out of shell and is now a rare beauty
He no longer feels that abandonment is his demise
My dear and sturdy oak has nothing to abhor
His mission in life is to laugh and just simply play
That oak is my confidant, our hearts will always correspond
