Premium Member OUR CHESTNUT TREE
Here stands a splendid chestnut tree. But in its trunk there grows decay. It’s no longer upright we see. Each week it leans one more degree. It will come crashing down one day. Here stands a splendid chestnut tree. It’s a...

Under the Chestnut Tree
And here I am under your majestic embrace Giving into what your nature shares Wondering why you need those spiky pods Is it to protect what you treasure most? When autumn comes you then let it go. I too have my spiky pods Holding on, not wanting to let go. Keeping safe my inner soul. As the leaves changes I hold my breath And...

The Clown With No Name
There he stood with his painted face; All focused on the bright colours that he wore. No one saw his eyes (they were out of place), Why should they? That's not what they had paid to see. It was his jolliness that they chose to embrace. His eyes, though, he could not over paint. He could only shade around them in...

The Jolly Little Cafe Where a Chestnut Tree Once Grew - Monologue
There's a jolly little cafe where a chestnut tree once grew, They serve hot bubbling tea and buttered toast, Where the waiter wears a waistcoat which is buttoned up askew And the waitress glides along much like a ghost. The chestnut in the glade has now fallen to the blade Many...

Into the mellow I fall gently gliding into green pastures owling eyes watching behind birch, the sound of breaking pine wild horses flying past the wind, a country of blushing skies The quiet day arrives and feeds their mane some golden air as the pillow soft burnish leaves crisp at my feet ...

Under the Chestnut Tree
What became of the old chestnut tree? That stood tall for all to see I cannot find them now, did they die? All this time I’ve wondered why. Limbs would arch and touch one another Chestnuts would drop hard and I’d run for cover, All over the ground they would lie Reminds me of the walnut trees that stood by. Piling up the...

Premium Member A Jury of His Peers
An old man long in years, in threadbare coat, with grizzled hair, and eyes aged and heavy. Stood with withered hands once strong and true, which clung to an old cap. For years he had tilled the soil planting crops, in fields by river's edge, In the shadow of an old chestnut tree. Nearby a small house,...where she...
