Dreams simple dreams
illusions within dreams
haunt my soul
until dawn breaks the day
upon mumbled murmurs of confusion
muted exclamations of pain
trees destroyed by smokeless fire
legs of horse wrapped with in barbwire
Black bears, Bobcats wild Turkey
opaque train flying from the heavens
lightning as it's tracks
South raped ravaged
peace will never regin again.

Businessmen they drink my wine,

Theres an old tune by Dicky Betts...Let Nature Sing....

Um... sad
Sad for sure. loss of free range. horse's legs wrapped got me. Nice writing though the depth. No fences where I live.
Just me and natures critters. They think i'm thier pet.

This is so free feeling as a read leaves one with calmness a very good write, I would make Heaven capitial however as it is a place like a state so on, but a pretty write
-
interesting correlation of picture prompt and pre-write. enjoyed the read Thank you for the entry and good luck in the contest. xx

Pretty strong write, I love it.
I'll probably never be able to use "thought provoking." on you ever again. but it is. I don't know how many times I've had to stop my truck and untangle a horse or a cow that was caught in barbed wire. That's when I could have used the twitch. It can get a little hairy. always carried a giant pair of lineman's pliers. sometimes I'd have to fix the fence to keep them out of the road. I wrote a couple of these before, if I can find them I'll send them in a note. I have a lot of admiration for you. I think you might be as stubborn as me.

"trees destroyed by smokeless fire

Dreams... they can tears us apart sometimes can't they?
-
I like this. It's simple but complicated. Is it about that I think it was about? Good write hun.
