Woofings!
I feel like some poultry, I mean pottery, no, poetry!! today. I’ve been trying to find a pome (oh, stop it) I wrote years ago, so I’m looking through a lot of older stuff… Never been “out there,” never been published… I think I could do this every day for months before I run out! And yeah, that’s a threat! ha ha!
Remember when we were kids, we said “ha ha!” in a sort of sing-song way, with the first “ha” being a higher note… VERY annoying to the person you were saying it to… But I digest. Okay, here’s a poem for today. Not ALL my stuff is doggish, and curtainly not all of it’s funny. I’ll put in a funny pone nest time… Okay, now be cereal, no laffing!
Oh, and pleats, if you like this, I do knead your help…
I want to grow my reader numbles, so… share? Fangks!
Phoenix
I fall out of an indigo sky
Like a broken bird
Traumatized, I plummet
Head, heels, head, heels
Twisting, turning, upside down
I am alive
Struggle to breathe, chest crushing
I am alive
Rushing wind is the Life Force,
Filling me, at last
And the void I create in the ground
Can hold the Seven Seas
I rise and the Earth trembles
I rise and I tower above the hole
I make canyons
Wonders for wide eyes
Resplendent cliffs
Gorges
Valleys
With love and gratitude
I create them for you
But they are soon forgotten
As I begin again my ascent
To the highest peaks in the indigo sky
