Premium Member Two Ladders Gertrude Abercrombie
So little is on the ground It's desolate, or so it feels As I'm trying hard to get away I don't see the blades of grass Or feel the coolness on my bare feet I want to climb to freedom But if I stop and think about the moon It just leaves me cold Surely nothing can compare With this patch of green?

Premium Member The Stroll - Gertrude Abercrombie 1943
it's easy to imagine the moon fell out of the sky but no, it's still up there, where it's always been I look around to see what chases me; nothing moves... but the tree stands still with the mocking pose of a monster about to...
