Returning To The Roots
by Susan Brown (Age: 49)
copyright 04-05-2008


Age Rating: 13 to 127

 
Stolen glances between Grandparents
As the one in the fur collar asks the other
Are the pine needles too deep?

Brown rimmed glasses replies no
I think we can creep forward
Then steps down hard on the pedal
Guns the motor onward as
Layers of dried needles snap alive

Muddy tires spin and slip
Over the first two humps and bumps
Mint green 1961 Mercury fishtails back and forth
Then shoots down the driveway

Granddaughters wrapped in wool blankets in the rear seat
Pop their heads out and smile at each other
In mutual joy

Majestic old growth
Appears to be waving them in
Looming heavily like a canopy far above

Protecting the little intruders below
From chronic drizzle as it has done
For generations before them

Under moonlight the trees seem to
Sing and slap each other in delight
As if to say-

The family has come home

I love this one! very good imagery as always. I reallly reeeeeally like the the last line of the second stanza. The last line is my favorite. this poem makes me miss the country and my relatives there.

Really good! You like cars, it seems. I can't the difference between Ford to Chevy pick-up and so forth. I had a hard time figuring this out, First it starts out mentioning trees, and then it leads into a phase where it seems like the tree and person is the same person. I also think it has something to do with a death. Like they died, and they are buried under these pine needles and the "ghost" of these people go out for a spin every now and then. Listen to me ramble on ^.^ I'll read more! Talk to you later.

You have so much talent, I'd suggest writing for a job! xD Who knows, you could be the next great writer!
You always seem to pick topics I can relate to, which is really nice to read and relate to. As always I loved the style (I love any type of style actually xD) Keep Writing!
