Friday Fictioneers – Truck that was always there

Truck that was always there

Broken and rusty one

Left in the woods with dust

Wind, rain, snow set in

There’s no need to discuss

Truck that was always there

Children play hide and seek

And family walk by

Stories were made for books

Of ransom, thieves and spy

Truck that was always there

Not of silk and honey

Copper rust and black tar

Bet it was useful once

Long time ago with gear

Truck that was always there

There was no sign of life

Part of the woods they say

Seasons come, seasons go

Even when clouds are grey*

    Powerful refrain, like the comfort of the little familiar things of home. I like it.

    That’s beautiful and so true for many things. Always there, in the middle of life, forgotten, part of the landscape… Well done!

    The truck has become a familiar part of the landscape. There is something grounding about such things.

    I like the notion (and repetition of the phrase) ‘truck that was always there’. It seems like it’s gaining a rich life in local legend.
