Totally Decayed

The dead tree still stands totally decayed
Could be modern Sodom and Gomorrha
Babylon that Revelation's story told
The dead tree still stands totally decayed
Vision of tree came to me and stayed
What...is that tree ..America that I love
The dead tree still stands totally decayed
Could be modern Sodom and Gomorrha

(Genesis 19, 1Kings 14:24, Isaiah 13:1, 14:22, Revelation 14:8, 16:19 references that could 
apply.)

Sara, The triolet form intrigues me. I'm glad to see you using this form because it reminds me to practice it more, too. Totally Decayed is well written and thought provoking. Thanks for sharing. Lovingly, Dane Ann

wow, have you done a triolet before? It's very nice. You can put (a) in front of the word tree in line 5 since all the lines should have equal syllable count. I love how you used a deep mesage, and you have some great refrain lines here. THe refrains are what "make" the triolet! I really like this! Luv, Andrea ps. Thanks for seeing my etheree!

America is falling fast, Sara, but most of Europe is gone, they say! Many churches are empty. Great write! I have to go and study this form. Seems interesting! Peace, Audrey

A new verse form for me, Sara, but you seem to have mastered it. And I like the analogy of America in comparison to Sodom and Gomorrha. Creative and compelling work! Love, Carolyn
