Longridge Woods Poem by Mark Heathcote

Longridge Woods

Rating: 5.0


When did his focus on life
Turn to death as though,
Annulled—there wasn't a drop left.
Lungs like two emptied bagpipes
Like two dead cats side by side.

Eyes glazed over— gingerly void.
Three sheets to the wind: flung over-
Slantwise -nothing absent to glamorise.
He just went to Longridge, woods to harmonise
Only a vacant wind listened to his last cruel notes.

Amazing! Really loved it Mark. With all our frustrations and failures Nature is always there with her soothing balm. You are an excellent writer. A 10 +.
