The Way the Light Slants

A photo really is worth a thousand words. We at Silly Tree Anthologies challenged poets to write a poem based on the image of a wooden swing like the one that graces the cover of this book. We didn’t want poems about swings though; we wanted poems about the feelings porch swings invoke, the memories they bring back and the heartache they conjure up. The poets did a wonderful job.

We are sure you will agree once you read the work featured in this anthology. The poems will draw you in and pull at your heart strings. Please enjoy “The Way the Lights Slants,” the third Silly Tree Anthology.
