He should be a poet

Chris Hall53 Comments



he was in his prime
he was often just this thinking thought
on his lonesome time

you see he was a poet, but he had lost his inspiration ~

he held his notebook
several pens and pencils
clattered on the ground

he stared up, looking at the great tree, he should climb up it ~

further and further
he climbed, so much better here
he’s able to write

For the visually challenged reader, this image shows a huge tree. Its branches are growing both vertically and horizontally. A man is resting comfortably on one of the horizontal branch, quite high up.
