I haven't taken much advantage of Poetryetc since joining quite a while
ago, so have decided to try my latest Poem poem on you. Should it be in
the Snap thread? I've never been quite sure what that was.
. *The Tide
*
. A long stare smelled its way
. past the lantern's purpled lisp
. against kerosene mares radiant in
. the prenatal barn storm
. that Poem
. was tearing the petals off of.
. Behind him, the Hawaiian sidewalk
. sidled dangerously into a canasta game,
. like misspelled lemonade
. remembering where the jewels were.
. The tide was later than usual.
.
I make these when I can't think of anything else to put in one of my
daily blog entries. It's almost automatic writing, so it's nothing
harsh comments about will bother me. Not that any harsh comments bother me.
