RANDOM POEMS 34

 

FLOUNDER

Did the verb come from the noun..
as humans watched flopping suffocating agonized
fishes?
Or did the fish name come from the verb?

PROMISED ENTRANCE

A single bird
and then several
begin to tune up
.. to prepare
for the promised
entrance..
of the conductor sun

BE WILDE

Sacred forests would
rather be be wilded
than bewildered

FEELINGS AND WILL ALIGNED

Like a clock
he had not been dis-armed
.. but so close together
were hour and minute
hand.. and his feelings and will
their alignment did disarm
as it appeared to
be
one armed

MIDDLE OF THE ROAD

He drove down the middle
of the road..
because it kept his options
open..
to slow moving turtles
from the left or
right

He drove down the middle
because he honored
beings at the extremes

LULLABY

The river is a lullaby
which lulls us as
it lazily flows by.

DANDELION SPHERE FOUNTAIN

In Manhattan
near the skyscraper mountains
is a dandelion sphere fountain..

water flows out the spore
arrows.. and into the pool
and slips beneath the surface
only to rise again

as do souls who slip
from earth
if they so choose
return again.

Nice poetic riddle in here. Do you mean literal (seems to me your not a sea-food type of an eater then) or the fish symbolizes human beings frailty inside a fishnet?
