Unsightly Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

Unsightly

Rating: 5.0


There it stands

Straight and tall
Brown and aged
Laden and heavy

There it stands

Unknown
Unattractive
Unappreciated

There it stands

Giving light
Giving lines
Giving life

There it stands

Perch for feathered friends
Guardian over nature lovers
Maze of crisscrossed wires

Oh, that ugly, unsightly utility pole...
I am so glad you are there!

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Author's notes: This ugly pole sits across from my house and is so ugly and unsightly to the landscape. It is like so many others that interfere with beautiful photos of landscape, oh how much better would be the pic if it were not for that ugly pole.
Then, one winter day my power went out and I took on a whole new attitude, one of appreciation for that same pole. In fact I found my self praying Lord bring back the power.
Like so many things in life, we either take for granted or unappreciated all they give to us. I hope you enjoy, Loyd
