Favorite Quote:
In failing to prepare, you're preparing for failure. ~Ben


She counts the moons as they pass
by overhead‚ illuminate the grass
on a starry night where the shade
spins monochrome the world and maid;
bread crumbs line the trail of tears
stretched to the horizon‚ a hundred years
of endless dreaming fill her heart—
wrench blood‚ tissue‚ flesh apart—
for however enticing these dreams may be‚
she'll always be chained to the solitary tree
that stands upright with fatigue and age;
traveller‚ she can't be helped‚ simply turn the page!

My friend gave me five words and told me to create a poem with them within five minutes. Moon‚ maid‚ bread‚ tree‚ page. This is what I came up with.
