Allegory

Marley walks to school one fine summer's morning. Slender trees sway in the breeze both tousled and flattened like bedhead. With the fall leaves change, fresh grass diluted in a sea of colour. Soon it will be winter. The ground drys, cracking and callused. A once seamless epidermis breaks and gets wrinkled. Spring rains freshen and clean. On a fine summer's morning Marley sends Jake to school.

  1. Interesting cycle in this piece, and very poetic. The line "tousled and flattened like bedhead" is especially evocative. You've got quite the poetic flair. You should definitely continue to develop your craft...
