The trees
pretend
that all
is calm.

They sway
away
from all
that's wrong.

The leaves
whispers
secrets
to all.

They know
humans
will one
day fall.

Sturdy
limbs of
tress crack
and break.

They know
why the
earth starts
to quake.

And the
roots know
why the
sky sighs.

They take
in it's
water
then sigh.

If you dont understand why I posted it this way, let me educate.

An iambic meter is a term meaning a meter used in poetry to count the syllables, or "metrical feet."

This particular poem is set at dimeter, if I remember correctly. Just two feet in each line.

Annnyyywaays. Enjoy.

nice write.

i like the piece overall but, i might have to disagree with one part...(not that it is open for discussion)

"The leaves
whispers
secrets
to all."

i feel like they whisper in secret to each other...
things we will never understand...

(just my interpretation)

i look forward to seeing more of you work
