We, the Coronado Scribes, consist of both professional and amateur writers. We have in common a desire to learn, by sharing our efforts and listening to other writers. We hold pressure-less sessions every Wednesday, at the Coronado Library conference room, starting at 1:30. Often we have guests who wish to just listen. They are welcome, and so are you. Each week on eCoronado, we feature a different piece of prose or poetry produced by one of our writers. Please feel free to comment or ask questions in the comment section below.
Requiem for Our Apple Tree
by Mike Lavin
Such a beautiful tree
When first we met in our backyard
Leaves fire green bursting pink and white
Springtime magic
Songbirds loved to sing among your blossoms
You gave such joy
Seasons lapsed,
Flowers failed to bud
Winter’s heavy snow, so mysterious and cold
Sorrow twisted you down
Branches then bark surrendered
Only blackened roots remained
Leaving us to endure the pain
