PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

at the feet of the sun

the wind blows

perilously devotional

a stampede of rain

ere 'flash flood hurricane'

frighteningly flirts with the houses

on the lowly hillside

opportunistic lover of the skies

that it is

grants grass the right to take over the land

an unlikely remedy of muse

beneficial to that of the spiritual endeavor

the sworn thinker in me

contemplates the construction

of each individual word

so carefully chosen

to fight in this latest war

of the pen

deeper discovery is but

the strong hold and goal

for the action of such focused engagement

even as trenches lay full

cramped with ideas for many

a grand blitzkrieg

care of the page

that never quite held back

any enemy of thought worth holding

turning on the heel of doubt

the pen quickly closes the gap

bleeding ever furiously

on the edge of uncompromised

completion

in this final push for glory

the sweating of the ink

gets generously rewarded

a medal/poem

pinned/penned

upon my chest/book.............
