Graveyard Picnic

I can almost see the scene. I don't see the souls, but I do get a sense of the human silliness of graveyards.Still,they do represent THE great thing that we all have in common.I walk them myself, to share spirit with spirit, and also to clear my mind for a quiet write. wcw

Toronto ontario there is a circular roadway a tall solitary pine in trees a small almost unoticed path we took this to see the pine being from the north finding this little afternoon forest in the stately treed ancient grounds and along the path and around the tree was dust like snow what could this be I wondered and when we left i was looking at the old stones and it took to me i was looking at the dust of people who had brought the cremation and had cast free in a special place their mates family loved ones the tree would take the ash and grow stronger taller no one had posted signs forbidding this we had simply traced the route in silence seeing this large pine I like your butterfly scene in your poem i watched a single Monarch this summer black and orange your poem was peaceful tranguil thoughtful it brought all this from me lost in history as a poem well written should thank you

I want you on my buddy list. I have to figure this out.wcw

Great theme... I felt the setting, "But surely there must be nicer place's to have a picnic,"Just Kidding" The only issue i have is this...... "We sit quietly have our picnic". "Have our picnic"...Grammatically this doesn't read well, Having "yes" but doesn't fit, or "Sharing" feels better - may work.... have a think.....But overall, loved it, Regards. Peter ~~~"I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday, and I love today."~~~

a truly beautiful poem... everyone can relate to feeling that one-ness or has the want to feel it... thank you for sharing your picnic... Richard

Amongst the solitary souls, who wander, silently here. These lines are my favorite. Well written, great flow and you tell a beautful story. Nice work ;-) Kaz It's impossible to smile on the outside without feeling better on the inside.
