Atlanta to Albany (Free verse) by powerline

Standing still in watch are trees Who quietly wait this pale cold night For in the south a heart heads home By wings who yield a timely flight With lasting winds smooth like felt A wintery blue keeps warm a land The currents so true now in breath Hold close and dear a traveled hand Shimmers of shadows pass low but near These tides they pass through plains and coast For high above a smell like mist Knows well a heart who grows in pulse Pushing far the air between A wind by side lets go its grasp Stillness brings a family near And for their guest a home at last

this is by far one of the greatest works i've read on here yet. unfortunately, having just read a suggestion you made about how people who don't write 'as well as others', should not be allowed to post as often or as much work as those who do, by which i presume you meant yourself, can post their works. i am both amazed and ashamed. i thouroughly enjoy your writing, and yet despise your idea and the pride behind it. it doesn't take a silver tongue and 8 years practice to come up with a good poem. it takes a simple cooperation between the brain and the heart. and my friend, even the slowest of 6 year-olds can accomplish that. i will judge your work fairly, but if given the i would not judge you the same. 8/10
