10 Different Ways of Looking at a Walnut

I wrote this poem in writing group. It was inspired by the poem, "13 Different ways of looking at a Blackbird"

I.

In the vast forest,

the only sound

was a falling walnut.

II.

Taken from sky

to earth,

the walnut sits for many seasons.

III.

The mountain adventurer,

knapsack leaning on his back,

steps on a walnut.

IV.

If a walnut falls in a forest,

and no one is around to hear it,

does it really make a sound at all?

V.

The Walnut,

eaten by people,

eaten by squirrels.

VI.

Who walks in the many

cliffs, crags and fissures

in the shell of a walnut.

VII.

There are some with

a rare talent, to

see the pattern in the leaves

of a walnut tree.

VIII.

Rain falls in a storm,

the pattering

is accompanied by

the creaking of a walnut tree.

IX.

The food critic sips

wine aged in a barrel

made of walnut

and nods.

X.

They thought they found

Blackbeard's lost treasure

but when they opened the chest

they found that it was full of walnuts.
