Flag drifts in a July sunset                                               ________
                                                                                       |====|__|
Rising taller than any tree,                                              |======|
    although the forest doth surround                              |======|
                                                                                                       |
My only company                                                                            |
                                                                                                       |
The chirping birds                                                                           |
       The lovely owl hooting out whispers of the comming evening                                

Deer graze in the plains
      a full family at peace in the wild                   

Clouds kiss the sun as the light begins to change

                        First
                       fading
                   as the rays
            are eclipsed slowlllllllly
by the roatation of the earth below my feet

The flag continues to wave

HIGH AND PROUD

13 stripes
50 stars

A powerful sybol of a great dream

Waves to me in the distance as the clouds gobble up the sun

This great day
is now done

    I love poetry.

    It can be whimsical or epic, unbearably long or just two memorable lines, mature and dark or light and childish.
