Time Capsule

Time Capsule
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015

I carved a name upon a tree,
Like a time capsule, I thought.
In twenty years, I returned,
But God, the great time keeper,
Thought this was not to be
For upon my arrival,  
I found the tree had burned.

M. L. Kiser February 11, 2019 at 7:06 PM Oops! Hopefully, the tree didn't know what hit it. Tom Wright February 11, 2019 at 7:53 PM better the tree than the one whose name I'd written. Thanks for your comment M.L.

Harry Horsman February 11, 2019 at 4:34 PM so ironic, that it was the tree that died, interest poem, and different..a joy to read.
