Red Barked Trees
Inspired By A Walk In Hulne Park And A Song By Wire
Introduction
Today I went for a walk in Hulne Park, Alnwick and noticed that the bark on a lot of the trees was a browny red reminding me of the song by Wire. This is about one of my previous visits.
I thought I would try to create a sonnet with every line with the same rhyme, or close to it.
Red Barked Trees
π²ππ³π΄ποΈ
Come Now And Take A Long Walk With Me
Down This Avenue Of Red Barked Trees
Their Branches Are Bare, Devoid Of Leaves
Skeletons Standing So Silently
π³
They Are Unmoved By The Whistling Breeze
Their Tops So High That We Cannot See
Like Ancient Sentinels, Steadfastly
Against The Elements, They Stay Free
π³
These Gods Of Wood, So Tall And Mighty
This Land's Protectors Will Always Be
Strong And Silent, Undaunted And Free
For All Those That Walk Here, They Can See
π³
What Did You Find? You Have To Tell Me
Down This Avenue Of Red Barked Trees
