Axed Tree
Would have stayed strong,
unbowed, defiant for years
if you hadn't come to pass;
instead, I am coiled
against a broken tile
waiting to wipe your
filthy arse.
Written for Shakespeare & Co. on the theme 'What if'.

Can it get better? Excellent!
Fabulous, and I'm sure it can (and will) get better still! :)
J.A.P - Honoured!
dopppsy - looks like you answered your own question :) Thank you.
i_f - Did you see the beautiful one they recently felled near HSBC? If only trees could carry axes and chop people as they walk by! Asinine comment I know, but this is one thing that gets me *really* mad :(
Shyam, ammani - hope to get better so I could torture you guys a bit less :-)
I loved this piece but when I read the others I felt you're a poet in a lazy sort of manner. Kind of give up just before you chisel a masterpiece thinking - 'who'd bother this is not what I wish to do anyways?' I may be wrong. Correct me if that be the case. My apologies if I have transgressed. :-)
Loved this one :) The most wonderful 'what if' :) I can see that this blog is going to be my fav haunt. Can't resist the humour.
Lovely!
Dan - won't call myself a poet at all ;-), but we spoke about this so won't elaborate here. thank you for your comments
Suniti, Zigzackly - thank you, honoured :)
oops that was manipal centre not barton centre in my previous comment
"Did you see the beautiful one they recently felled near HSBC?"
- they had ample(in my opinion) parking space outside hsbc why did they need to chop those beauties :-((
