Around the bend up through the trail <br />A few miles down then head up a hill <br />Walk through the valley go down by the stream <br />Make a left at the end and you’ll see the tree <br />A twisted tree with dead black leaves <br />And a few cemeteries that lie beneath <br />It has long since died but is quite an odd sight <br />As everything around it is bursting with life <br />The clear blue water the grass so green <br />The wildlife, bright sun, then blackened tree <br />Twisted, empty, shaded, damned <br />So many of the townsfolk avoid the land <br />And just a few of the tales they tell; <br />A devils portal from earth to hell <br />Evil and lost soul’s eternal jail <br />It does not exist it’s just a tale<br /><br />Melissa K Vigna<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/twisted-tree/
