Poem: An acute lack of straight lines

 

round barn

An acute lack of straight lines

There are no right angles here,
no straight lines.
If ever there were,
they have been ripped away
by age and storms,
by the earth shifting under it’s foundation
one time too many.

About this poem. 

Life should be simple. It rarely is.

The picture is of the round barn in Shelburne, VT.
