The Forest I Walked Upon
(and another poem, how we all miss nature eh?)
Erosion brought Memories in a whisk Still, it lingers That radiance I "Listen" it said "and Hear thee wake of forest songs O woodpeckers beckoning In the early morn Like little distress signals Before the coming age Make haven For all life within Roots Brace self with Trees Rustling grace Seek Nature in all's splendor Find warmth's embrace Where you and me belong In between Intrinsic source" Ocean time stirs Into grey of Thoughts I used to love What I see now Is only a mire Past ruptures vast fields Where new complexes shall rise To eradicate By day By night By dawn In the forests I walked upon Last edited by Eccer : Yesterday at 01:10 AM. |

I read the green text in the voice of the Great Deku Tree from Ocarina of Time
This is quite a well written piece, I'm liking the subtle "concrete jungle" reference too. A bit depressing though, can't you write about kittens? XD

Kittens will be considered. And thanks.
Now that I think of it, this fits perfectly with what the greaty deku tree would tell kids nowadays ^^ |

your presentation really makes this, and overall flows gently and effortlessly.
for some reason the line intrinsic source" sticks out to me, i think it feels a bit rushed in comparison to the rest of that stanza, but that might just be me. this feels very nostalgic to me, makes me think of when excitement with someone fades to boredom. this was a good read ![]() |

Yeah, it feels rushed because I was supposed to have something else afterwards. But I just couldn't come up with anything that would flow and give more meaning to what was already being told. So I kinda left it alone there.
So, thanks for noticing that I'll have to see whether I will do something about it or not. |

Nice piece. Personally I feel like the ending would feel better if it ended with "by day, by night, by dawn, in the forest I walked upon", or at least something that has 'dawn' as the last one, because I like how it would rhyme. I guess that's a matter of personal preference though. I love it as it is though!
