Flood Climate Poem

Crooked tree at the

River’s banks touched by pink foam

The sun drowns in grey.

    You’re ability to convey and capture the mood both visually and verbaly is inspiring and thought provoking. This made me feel i was looking through the eyes of a warrior reborn from the earth, with a new vision, hope and focus. Inspiring.

    I like this poem – it gives a very subtle mood. At the same time, when there is a crooked tree, more of it becomes submerged into the waters, versus one that is standing straight.

      I love subtle moods; it gives way for more contemplation than when everything is already laid out. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!
