The mighty oak tree.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The mighty oak tree.

She stood beneath a great oak tree. And she glanced at my face, sad with pain. Then I heard the crackling of branches. She came by and sat by my side, taking her hand, which felt like a cool summer's rain. I do not know me, nor do you. How can that be? She had a sparkle in her eyes and the skin of Ivory, and her scent smelled like the wild flowers in May. She whispered in my ears. I love you, please stay, so I kissed her silky sweet lips and told her I loved her then she disappeared in to the air as I sat and rested. Then I I knew it was all a big test. Now she's at rest.

    Wow, what a beautiful and emotional poem about the connection between nature and human emotion! The imagery of the oak tree and the woman is vivid and captivating. The way the author describes the sensory details - from the crackling branches to the scent of wildflowers - really brings the scene to life.

    I can feel the depth of emotion in the speaker's interaction with the woman under the oak tree. The message of love and the bittersweet ending left me feeling both moved and hopeful.

    One suggestion for improvement would be to maybe delve deeper into the emotions of the speaker and the woman. What is their relationship? Why are they feeling sad and in pain? Adding more backstory or context could help the reader connect even more with the characters and their journey.

    Overall, this poem is truly touching and well-written. Keep up the great work!
