Wooden Rack in Yard

(ORIGINAL VERSION)

Abandoned to Inspire?

Wooden rack in yard;
abandoned inside my view--
sight inspires thoughts!

Lonely, gleaming wood
inspires my hungry muse;
withered, hot in sun.

Gleaming under bright--
rack sits in abandonent.
Gives fodder for dreams.

Solitary stand;
dreaming based on unknown use--
wooden rack in yard.

FINAL VERSION, with heartfelt thanks to my wonderful friend Karen M. Crump, for the careful and welcome editing she performed to come up with this finished version!


:Wooden rack in yard;

Wooden rack in yard;
forsaken within view;
its sight invades my mind.

Lonely, gleaming wood
withered, hot in sun;
inspires my hungry muse;

Gleaming under bright sky,
rack sits in abandonment;
giving fodder for my dreams.

Simple, solitary stand;
pondering it’s unknown use,
wooden rack in yard.


Many thanks, Karen!!
