Tainted Beauty

by Maple Tree   Jun 1, 2014


Summer winds draped
breezy curtains
across the sky,
veiling visions
with cloudy beliefs.

Dawn protected me
from scorched tongues
so that I may be released
from a chained darkness.

I tasted rain
before pollution
murdered
Mother
Earth.

    I agree to you being the queen of nature poetry. I love this piece and how it can be taken in so many different ways and how your words were strong enough to convey a story but yet ambiguous enough to relate to a multitude of scenes. Great write and beautiful use of imagery.

    You are the queen of nature poetry! This piece was really intensely captivating even in it's short length. This just...wow, I love the idea of dawn protecting you, like the new day gives you hope.

    Love the ending too...so much depth and imagery.

    Love this...
