Old Oak & Old Memories

Old Oak & Old Memories

A Poem by Twilight
"

The idea for this one emerged very spontaneously, as it sometimes does. Just imagined a rural scene, with an old oak and a wandering; yet happy traveller...

"
Part One: Sayeth the happy wanderer:-

(I) Oh wise old Oak,
Pray tell what you have seen,
I be just a happy wanderer,
It's knowledge which I gleam,
To tell me not twould be mean,

(II) Over hill and dale I've wandered,
Through fields of grass and 🌽 corn,
Wheat fields and lovers' nests,
Streamlets stream where I take my rest,
Each new day ever on the cresp,

Part Two: Sayeth The Wise Old Oak:-

(I) I look down from way up high,
My crown is wisdom boasteth I,
Matchstick folk mingling with cattle,
Why there's Robin Hood!,
Testing his mettle,

(II) The heads of lovers kissing,
Birds drifting by,
Clouds of many colours,
Restless not I,
But trueth that I sigh - as life pass me by.

I like the old, almost archaic style and the conversational tone of the piece. If Old Oaks like this one could actually speak they would have many, many interesting tales to tell and wisdom to pass on.

Line 4….’glean’. Nicely composed.

Hi Julian, to me, spontaneous writing is the best. After the initial write, if I keep going over it except to correct spelling, ect, I find the magic being destroyed. I like this as it is. The magic is there!
How are you?
