Long Knarled Poems

,It's like some long lost fairy tale 
That's handed down through time
But couldn't be, as you will see
For this strange tale is mine.

I chose to take a country road 
I do from time to time
To...

Twas winter when I fell alone,
one drop from hurting skies;
That showed all the hurt and pain,
deep within the core of eyes.

The Raven flew and let a call,
the trees knarled and scard;
A sad and mourning cry...

Frightened by the darkness of this eerie night

Crystal eyes cracked, by the horror of its sight

A phantom amid the forest of these petrified trees

Of barrened branches, stripped of their leaves....

Taunting eyes filled with fire, flames,...

You found what took years to hide,
so deep within my fortress
     that I forgot it could be felt.

Here is the sum of...

As the Robins dart across the grass
Ignoring the clouds of gray
Cold breeze and cold dry air
Every so often they bob their heads
Eating a bug or seed something to me unseen

The Redbuds that in the wild...

As the Robins dart across
Ignoring the clouds of gray
And cold breeze with the dry air
Bob their heads eating a bug

The Redbuds that in the wild
Do grow begin to show their
True colors...

Shifting haze, so slowly trailing
Through wood and field, now veiling
Melancholy skies, holding back the tears
With wild geese flying to meet other years.
Flames of crimson torches come flinging
Leaves on knarled branch swinging; 
Desolate winds rush leaping

Red leaves adorn your shapely trunk
Smaller, knarled, leaning slightly shrunk
Soon your leaves will fall coating the earth
With a layer that wil be able to birth

Little seed that have fallen down from trees
Will the squirrels and...

Down a prairie road he trudges
Kicking up dust in the sultry summer
Of a late August sky
Many follow with a tune in their heads
And carboard in their shoes
Shirts soaked with sweat
Knarled hands and gaunt faces
