Poetry Gong - Poem 23
What Will You Be Wearing While the World Around You Grows Old
- After Winter Trees Cough Like Old Men by Eugenio Montejo
Birch trees in late fall are naked
like pale old women in bathing suits
sunning on a canvas covered dock.
*****************************************************************************
I know I was supposed to type up my pantoum from yesterday, but the purpose of this particular gong is to write a NEW poem every day, so I had to write something new!
I turned to Poetry Daily, read the daily poem, and this poem came to me!

i love all of your descriptions. this is poetry as it should be. you (and your poetry) are living in the world and i am stuck in my head. :)
my poetry is hardly ever in my head. finally, there is a non-parallel. non-parelil (isn't that a candy?)
