deep in the woods, stands a story untold
someone drove there, remained in the fold
grapevines say so, that he did not return
a novelist who struck an idea on the run
someone drove there, remained in the fold
who knows what truth is buried under mold
a novelist who struck an idea on the run
did he meet a wandering soul, or see a skeleton?

A well-constructed poem with a haunting and mysterious theme.

I loved this. The poetry form–pantoum–establishes the idea of searching and haunting from the present to the past. A great piece of work.

I liked the flow of that poem… and the content. What a way to go, though… as an author… to disappear while on a writing juant…
