NaPoWriMo Day Six (2016)

 

MY SWEET ASH!

I know, I know, I know, I know

The borers hit their mark,

split and shriveled up your lovely trunk,

cracked your lovely bark.

~oh, woe~

I cannot, cannot, cannot do it,

cut you down, I mean,

you could, you might, you may leaf out

to shade the hot back scene.

~oh, yeah~

La la la la la la la

my eyes and ears I cover…

if I refuse to see,  to hear

perhaps you will recover.

~selah~
