Analysis of The mighty oak tree.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The mighty oak tree.

She stood beneath a great oak tree. And she glanced at my face, sad with pain. Then I heard the crackling of branches. She came by and sat by my side, taking her hand, which felt like a cool summer's rain. I do not know me, nor do you. How can that be? She had a sparkle in her eyes and the skin of Ivory, and her scent smelled like the wild flowers in May. She whispered in my ears. I love you, please stay, so I kissed her silky sweet lips and told her I loved her then she disappeared in to the air as I sat and rested. Then I I knew it was all a big test. Now she's at rest.
