Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Dead Wood

Technically trespassing, I

Did stroll across a neighbor's farm.

I'd seen some woods and wondered why

The trees looked dead, such caused alarm.

And so into the woods I went,

And the more my alarm did rise.

Something was wrong was evident.

Leafless and gray trees in July's

Season for fully filled green trees,

Made me conclude there was some glitch

That I could feel within the breeze,

As my skin did redden and itch.

The reason all the trees had died,

The spraying of a pesticide.
