Apple Tree ~ Douglas Smith
Black cat in the yellow beam from kitchen window
Let me in
Dog silhouette against living-room nightlight
Let me out
Discarded white plastic barrel like a loose tooth in the river
Dawn comes collecting her petticoat nightdress
Mud puddles and acorn market flood
Grow me a forest of oak
to
Guide me through the days
Let me in
Dog silhouette against living-room nightlight
Let me out
Discarded white plastic barrel like a loose tooth in the river
Dawn comes collecting her petticoat nightdress
Mud puddles and acorn market flood
Grow me a forest of oak
to
Guide me through the days

fine sentiments
Made me think of the song: Harvest Time, off the album: Street Of The Love Of Days, by the band: Amor de Dias. The bass in this song pulls me in...
Happy Fall.
Lobe were here.
Lobi: That song was originally on The Clientele's album Bonfires on the Heath - Alasdair MacLean from The Clientele is also in Amor de Dias - so that makes perfect sense.
" Grow me a forest of oak" .... loved that line. And the whole poem, of course.
