Flash 55-Winter's Song

The old maple listens to the conversation on a gray night.
Rain falls like tears after a lover leaves,
Wind whispers secrets,
Hail chatters about the snow coming to visit,
Tires swish home late for dinner,
Heels sound a staccato.
Door opens and closes,
Warmth reaching his branches,
Laughter like a blanket signals good night.


Have a story or an idea? Tell it in 55 words and see the g-man!

willow--I thought about that one for a while-trying to match the sound;-)

real life yes--it's been stormy for the last two days. Each winter and every storm I talk to the big ole swamp maple that everyone wanted to cut down--I saved his life and I just hope whenever it gets really windy or icy that he hangs in there and doesn't send a branch or two raining down on us!
