A poem

The strong wind blew the pussy willow branches,

I was walking inside a grove beside an old ranch

Feeling quiet devious,

I’m not going to lie I was feeling like a genius.

I grabbed my matches,

And clawed my way through the grove with only a few scratches.

I was planning to set the trees ablaze,

Like a bomb was about to go off I was in a bit of a daze.

The fire burned ever so ferociously,

The ranch was utterly and truly atrocious.

What have I done?

I should probably run.
