that one patch of trees I call home
March 24, 2014
Gully
lonely, yet never alone
that’s how I feel in the gully
lost in my thoughts
dashing around the grass
thinking deeply of nothing
a wandering soul
am I?
that’s how I feel in the gully
I climb a tree
the infinity tree
watching light spear through
a thick ceiling of branches
to my unseen hideaway
the river bubbles,
gurgles nearby
the birds chirp softly
their cries of excitement
carried gently,
delicately
on the breeze.
I pretend I am camping
And the world is at peace
That’s how I feel in the gully

ok don't take this the wrong way but i ws able to associate with the poem, with the meaning of a word pronounced as "gully" in hindi and it came out like it was written that way..... the crux: i loved it :)

Pretty imagery and the word "gully" is great, although I have no clue what that word actually means haha. I love "the infinity tree." I would suggest maybe adding a few more great descriptors like "gurgles" just to give it more pizazz. Other than that I thought it was pretty good (:
This was a sweet poem, loved the way it flowed and how discriptive you were :) One thing, maybe you could capatalize some more, make it a little more gramatically correct? That's all a really noticed wrong with this piece, and at the same time I'm not sure if you meant to do that or not - eitherway, really great poem :)
