    About this ebook

    That Archaic Tree


    Standing there lifeless

    Beaten by time

    Birds are no longer attracted to thee

    Roots are no longer its backbone

    Wishing the leaves would cover it

    But they have fallen and withered away

    That fragile tree

    The rain has ignored him

    Forsaken by the sun

    An outcast

    LaToya Martin

    LaToya Martin was born and raised in the small town of Boley, Oklahoma. She is the mother of two teenage daughters. Writing was never her passion; she only began writing because of a few homework assignments. Over the years, however, her love for writing blossomed. Her poetry has been published in 3-4 different local magazines and newspapers. When she isn't writing, LaToya Martin loves fishing, visiting haunted locations, and photography.

      MY BELOVED ANGEL, I am nearly mad about you, as much as one can be mad: I cannot bring together two ideas that you do not interpose yourself between them. I can no longer think of nothing but you. In spite of myself, my imagination carries me to you.

      Dear Mum, There are still times when I go to call you. It seems inexplicable to me that you actually died. I used to wonder how it would feel, and after 16 years, I’m still not sure. The main thing I want to tell you is that I get it now. I understan
