Sou’easter

Post by Mark » Thu Jan 30, 2020 1:11 am

.

These silly little leaves are a problem for me
when wind blasts the town from off of the sea,
they skitter in past the door so freely and easily
and unfortunately, I won't just saw down the tree.

Nice quad, Mark.  

With a little fiddling, the lines can adjust to iambic pentameter.  I think that would make the rhymes so much more effective.  

Just my view.

Cheers.

Clever.  Maybe more imagery?  Colors, how leaves look inside?

My dad wants to saw down my neighbor's tree...
