Comments : The lonely tree

    Good description. I can vividly picture the tree. But you just hung me abruptly and lost me in my thoughts. I think you can write two or more lines to explain why the tree is lonely and what was the essence of it swaying from side to side. But it's a perfect description though.

    ^ I agree, it's a good start. I love the mystery and vagueness of the "road of nowhere", it actually reminds me of an apocalypse or a lost city where there is little civilization.

    I do, however, feel like it ended too quickly. I like your brevity and if that's your style, great, but maybe add a line separate to the rest of the stanza that is ominous or ties in the more of the message of the poem? How that lonely tree is connected to your own loneliness or isolation? Just some food for thought.

    Also, "creeking" should be "creaking".

    Take care.

    I think this has a great vivid start. Just wishing there was a bit more to it. It kinda just leaves you hanging with one stanza. Great start tho!

    A great poem that gets you lost in your own thoughts. I like the brevity of it, as it adds to the mysterious mood created by the "road of nowhere."

    The experts tell us to avoid the clichés

    I read in the road of nowhere while thinking on the road to nowhere

    This free flowing poem had natural imagery . The twist of the wording make me think deeper and that is better than good :)

    I really like the idea of this piece, the comments and edits suggested by others already though are all very well pointed out - I agree completely. Your style is interesting and the way you got your voice to stand out within the piece is great.
