Something poetic
Grew in my mind
About a tree
Before worthless thoughts
spread like weeds.
Now all that remains is a
Single, brown brush stroke
That branches from
my mind.
Doesn't it drive you mad when you get a wonderful poem in your head and then it gets lost in your thoughts and for the life of you you can't remember what it was? I kept trying to remember but all I could see in my mind was a brush stroke in shades of brown and purple. Very strange.

Do you think I should remove some of the plant references, and if you do, which one(s) do you think it should be? I would like to leave the last "branching" one because the paint stroke in my mind made me think of a branch though it didn't look like one, but if it's too much it can probably go.

I know how that goes. I hate not being able to remember. *sighs
