Standing well over thirty feet tall

Overflowing with acorns falling to ground

Squirrels running amok in the branches

Birds nesting in nooks and crannies

An old tire swing twirling around

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.

Awww, you actually used the 6W6L! You're so sweet! It's my favourite form of your poems! I loved it so much!
I wondered what that was about 6W6L. Very descriptive way of bringing poetry to life. Interesting concept.
Loving this - simple but heartfelt.
Enjoyed the imagery here. Reminded me of the wonder I felt as a child taking in nature on walks with my family
Love the beauty and simplicity of this …👏 It also reminded me of a rope swing we had on my grandma’s farm as a child..it was on a hill so it would go really high. It was thrilling. Uh nostalgia. ☺️
Very nicely done.
I liked this, it created a vivid picture in my head.
