PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

There isn’t

quite a rhyme

or rhythm to it

but it speaks the tongue

of the soul

spitting out “ha ha” images

of liquid prose

in spurts of volcanic lava

and consciousness rising

as words on a page

begin a mental dance

the challenge is issued

and the man steps up

to the plate—

take a swing at the ball

the electricity of word

speech elevating soul

currents of rapid fire

invective

it invades

permeates the inside

perplexes and amuses

yes another trip

to the Tropic of Capricorn

has warmed the heart

and fired the soul

until what you get is

a quintessence

and a few words left spoken

and many more unspoken
