In my hammock I lie
Just me, the trees, and the sky
I swing in my sling and I try
To salve the sting of goodbye
To halve the us into I
I feel what I feel and I cry
And deal until tears are dry
Bereaved, I heave a sigh
The leaves all whisper, “Why?”
She leaves just me, and I
Am alone with the trees and the sky
Let's do Something Cheap and Superficial 
That’s so sad, Tim. Well-written but sad. How ’bout tomorrow you write about a nice little alien delicacy that Karen and I whip up for you in your kitchen…
Thanks, Laura. I have a cheerful poem to balance this one. It will be up in a couple days. [ I see "whip" and "alien" and I'm a little afraid you plan to beat me.] ~Tim
Very emotional poem. I like the rhythm & rhyme.
But I wouldn’t try any delicacy that Karen and Laura are whipping up.
Thanks, Anne. See my note to Laura. What should I do if they offer me chocolate cake? ~Tim
I’m in on that Laura. Something with a nice white sauce I think to go with the purple tentacles.
Lovely piece Tim. Sorry you were sad, even for a moment.
Thanks, Karen. Purple tentacles? Are you sure about that? ~Tim
the trees and the sky are more constant and beautiful anyway.
Thanks, Lime. The trees are my friends. ~Tim
