The Mighty Oak

The Mighty Oak

A Poem by The Ugly Rose
"

Physics Class (Febuary 5th)

"

A night sky

Bleeds the sweet honey of rain

The drops plunge from the stars

To crash into the sturdy branches

Of the Mighty Oak.

 

A flash of electricity

Jumps across the image

Dangerously close

To the Mighty Oak.

 

A rebellious stream

Of lightning and fire

Plunges itself deep into

The very burrows of

The Mighty Oak.

 

A flame alights

Licking the tree itself

Engulfing it in raging

Uncontrollable

Heat.

 

An so the Mighty Oak

Exploes with a thunderous noise

Only now, the Oak

Is me.

The lightning

Is life.

Putting aside the missing letter 'd' in the word explode,

its a fantastic observation and expression of life put in words.

Well done! Lady Vampira.
