Nature

David Stroud
There you are! I see you sitting on a rock
Eating a pear, as the wind blows through your hair.
The long strands wave into your face, as your frock
Rides gently up in the breeze, your body shaped like a pear.

Sitting under the tree, you sat there happy,
Watching the leaves fall to the ground, rustling and
Swirling by the wind. The tree's bark runs sappy.
The sound of the branches from the trees and leaves makes a band.

Many birds sing in the clear, blue morning sky.
As a few white, bright clouds float on by from the updrift air.
As your eyes watched the white specks, your blue eyes shy
Away from the bright sun to fall onto another pair.

Now that you are gone. My memories are here
That I cannot deny. You are in my mind there.

    I have already mentioned here and other places that my other two poems are published someplace else. One in my college's magazine and the other in a book of poetry that poetry.com published several years ago. They are not even online for you to read them.

    You still haven't answered my question. Where are the "published" poems you mentioned published????

    As you continue to refuse to answer my question, I assume that you are lying about having your poems published.

    You seem to take everything as harassment.

    If you are going to post on a public forum get used to it. The poem is very simplistic and quite honestly not very good. Its just too basic. not what one would expect from someone with a CRATIVE writing degree such as yourself.

    But keep trying and going for your dreams.

    "where is your published poems mentioned in your profile or is that it? Or you mean self published?"

    You never answered his question. I,too,would like to know where the poems you mention in your profile are published.

    ENOUGH. You people need to get a life and stop posting nasty comments including you people who have an account here on Associated Content who are posting nasty stuff on my Poem about me. Enough. It is just sick, and it is considered as harassment.

    Common now people. Quit impersonating other people to leave comments on here. I just had to delete a comment from someone pretending to be somebody else. Enough already. If you have a problem with me from someplace else? Leave it there, and not bring it here.

    Very interesting but I don't like rhymes

  • Daydream Believer 1/21/2007

    Next time don't worry so much about rhyming. It will give you more freedom to say the things you really want to say.

    I like it David. Really sets a picture in the readers mind.
