PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The steps sagged

under the heavy foot

that stepped up

to the screen door

a light summer drizzle

got the ball field wet

and the game was cancelled

the thoughts of vacation

began to enter

a slow walk

to the corner bar

for a mug of beer

and a few choice words

on the upheaval

of our American way of life

but unlike others

the death can only come

at the cost of reincarnation

as another life

emerges from the ashes

of the carnage
