((A/N - This is a response to a writing prompt I found who knows where. I had fun writing a poem with each line starting with A-Z. It was a welcome challenge. Sorry, the ending line is crappy but I couldn't think of anything for Z))
Forgotten Place
Another day
Before the
Cold winter sets
Down on this
Empty town.
Forever quiet and
Gray is this town,
Hauntingly dark
In the night.
Justice has left.
Kindness has gone.
Love has vanished.
Morning brings
No relief
Of the darkness therein.
Pine, maple, birch leaves
Quake and
Rustle in the empty breeze.
Slowly dying out,
They fall to the ground.
Unloaded of their burden
Vertical trees droop as
Winter comes and goes,
Xylem grow dry
Yellow leaves turn brown
Zzzzz . . . this city sleeps forever.
