A fable for the world’s end in the form of a triolet, written for the #OctPoWriMo prompt.
At the morning of the world there was a tree,
And its broad branches all new life contained,
It sheltered squirrels, blackbirds, you and me.
At the morning of the world there was a tree,
It’s evening now, there’s nothing much to see—
Earth’s beauty squandered—we should have remained
At the morning of the world. There was a tree,
It sheltered squirrels, blackbirds, you and me.

Jane Dougherty Writes 
Simple, effective and beautiful 💜
Thanks!
❤ Oh I love this one, Jane. For some reason I'm so uninspired by this prompt, and I'm struggling with what to write!
It’s not an obvious one at all. I quite enjoy writing fairy stories though, so I just swap prose for poetry. Take a character in a myth and write a poem about her/him.
…Well. I have to say, Jane, you did it again! I got it written! But, following the old unsanitized Brothers Grimm tradition, it’s (pun intended) rather grim.
Hmmm. Good idea. Lemme give it a think.
🙂
This is so sadly beautiful, or beautifully sad. 🙂
It is a sad idea. I feel that way at the moment, just so much senseless waste going on.
Yes. . .
‘we should have remained’ – these simple words are very deep and effective in conveying a lot. Fantastic work, Jane.
Thank you, Varad!
That sums it up perfectly. (K)
I liked the way it came out, short but to the point.
Lyrics for a great song. Love it!
Thank you!
