Greetings and Happy Account Anniversary!

What a touching image we have here in this brief prose poem. A boy's favorite tree is cut down when its time has come, only to be recreated into something new that will last for many generations.

We begin with the onomatopoeia of a buzzing chainsaw, which sets the scene vividly as we see the old tree coming down. Then we see the stack of planks coming together into a new family heirloom, which completes the cycle of life and continues to provide a safe space for the boy to sleep in.

Each word counts towards the whole item, bringing the theme forward with clarity and simplicity. I really enjoyed this.

It’s amazing how much can be done with only 50 words. (Oh, that reminds me, I need to make a note of joining Steven’s “Drabble” activity. 100 word stories, here I come!) I recently had some experience with crafting a 50 word story in the Newsfeed for one of the GoT tasks that someone else had to do, and it was a fun learning session.

You’ve reminded me of the inspiring power of a few words, carefully crafted. I look forward to creating my own brief items in this way quite soon.

Take care, thanks for sharing and keep writing *Smile* *HeartT*
