The way this blog is going to work is that I will post a poem that I have written either new or old and then above it I will give my prose interpretation of it. My interpretation is not the "right" one, everybody "sees" things from their own perspective.

THE BALLAD OF MONROE STREET

This poem was from my blog, POET-AT-LARGE and was about the unnecessary removal of a few trees in downtown Lynn, all for the filming of a HOLLYWOOD movie!

THE BALLAD OF MONROE STREET

The silence broken by a chain saw's buzz
Falling down a tree that was.

All in the name of fleeting fame
For hopes of being in the game.

No song for a plant to cry
Just a little more beauty left to die.

It's only the price we pay
When fools pretend to play.
