JUST A SMALL POEM I DID.. IN HAIKU FORM
MEANING EACH STANZA IS A HAIKU; FOLLOWING THE RULES
1ST LINE = 5 SYLL
2ND LINE = 7 SYLL
3RD LINE = 5 SYLL
FORESTS HOLD TIGHT TO
THEIR SECRETS, HELD CAPTIVE BY
THE SERPENTINE VINES
OBSCURED FOUNDATIONS
FILTER THROUGH THE UNDERGROWTH
FLECKS OF MORTARED BONE
THE MURDERING HAND
SCATTERED BRICK RED SKELETONS
UNCERIMONIOUSLY
LEAF LITTER HOUSES
REFLECTIVE PIECES OF A
THOUSAND BROKEN SOULS
FORESTS HOLD TIGHT TO
THEIR SECRETS, HELD CAPTIVE BY
THE SERPENTINE VINES
I WROTE THIS AFTER A TRIP INTO THE COUNTRYSIDE OF SOUTHERN OHIO FOR AN APPALACHAIN STUDIES COURSE I TOOK. IT IS AMAZING HOW MUCH OF HISTORY IS ABANDONED, LEFT TO RUINS, AND EASILY FORGOTTON. THIS POEM WAS DEDICATED TO AN OLD SCHOOL HOUSE WE FOUND NESTLED AT THE TOP OF A VERY VERY LONG CONCRETE STAIRCASE WE FOUND.. DEEP IN THE WOODS.
