Acacia

Although now long gone, still remembered in these five lines

Acacia

 

Goodbye Acacia

You must go now

For the sake of a new view

And to make way

 For Nikoli’s well and his bloody barbeque

 

 

 

Author's Note

The tree bore no fruit for many years and was dying. We also needed the space for the pool and BBQ

Harsh. Feels like you were ripping a lover out by the roots. I never thought to write a poem about taking down the blasted dwarf Christmas tree to make way for the fence. I wish I would have. :)

Harsh indeed but I assure you, no vegetation or fauna was harmed in any way in the making of this five liner. I was reliably informed that it was the kindest thing to do & anyway I have a secret getaway, high up in the 'Starra Planina Mountains' of Bulgaria & we needed space for the pool, damn it... AGT's N
