Journey With A New Friend

Wilde Beast Bumping Heads

Each new friend speaks a new language.
Unique histories to share.
So much to say, it’s a traffic stall.

Rare books of knowledge.
Scriptures delineating a process.
Each new friend speaks a new language.

Shared representations?
A journey that is just introduced?
Unique histories to share.

Wilde beast bumping heads
on a prehistoric plain.
So much to say, it’s a traffic stall.

a-b-c

f-g-b

h-i-c

sailing island-ward
tireless monsters await
where the wild things are

all the eggs have hatched
quaking and waddling road-ward
make way for duckling

man with yellow hat
curious monkey named George
unlimited fun

what words can you read
child with upside down book
living life forward

sunset tunnel

Bridge

end of world
planned pre-extinction
puzzled driver won’t return

no more ginger-filled
usual morning cup
postponed indefinitely

tears burned
evening light
white-fronted entryways

pleasure
slowly spilling
down ragging river

stretched pathway
leads to invariable demise
sunset tunnel

souls reawakened
flourishing forces
veil between worlds uplifted

insurgent powers
on catastrophic courses
charge into the fray
take advantage of the weak
holding only humble hope

down to earth metaphysics
new world envisioned
cultural independence

nourishing summer rain
sipped off

scattered colors
of autumnal equinox
coolness gathers
whitecapped rapids
fleeting blossoms

melody becomes a young angel

Boredom by Kenia Cris

melody becomes a young angel

melody becomes a young angel
living in a secular world
dirty, opportunistic
soul in constant distress

majestic music, sorrowful
trembling amazingly
resting in the shady peace
of an earthly train yard

Today’s prompt, was to write a poem inspired by the art of  Kenia Cris over at Poesia Torta,
