Analysis of Macrocapa



Proudly it stands
midst houses of wood,
Guess its beginning
I wish I could,
Over the years
it has seen much,
Yet in time
what can it touch.

Oh the elements
have characterised it well,
How it protected
people that there dwell,
Waiting for buses
sheltering from the rain,
Who can forecast,
how long it'll remain?

In  College Road
right near the shops,
A shelter shed,
where each bus stops,
Note the girth
also size and height,
Truly it's inspiring
what a mighty sight !

“Written after seeing this magnificent tree standing alone but ever so proudly. Worthy of documentation as in a poem- for posterity.”

stan brierly

I have been writing poems for forty years and written about all sorts of things. Somehow I get creating streaks and can write up to 4 or 5 poems at once of varying subjects. I find it is a good way to record events of the day and bring history to life.The mental aspect is a balance against keeping fit,work and life in general. more…
