[hometext] => Maybe you can help me with the title :) This poem is not completely finished;although, I guess it could be. Let me know what you think.
[bodytext] => The handsome fence that meanders Along the side of the country road Catches my eye I desert the car, and I gaze To admire the log construction, The rails between the poles Bring to mind a steam locomotive A rugged ride that seizes my mind Spurs my step, I follow the roaming fence Bountiful trees flicker their tentacles Brushing the fence Like a player and his guitar, Sun rays land on her Betraying her rifts and defects The soothing air gently licks my skin Gently combs my hair, gently drops anchor into my lungs Catching my breath on the way up I follow the roaming fence I mash swarms of crisp bark Make a thickened soup of toxic mushrooms Rake the blanket flowers that Look at me with their scads of eyes They watch me carefully just as the Afternoon weeps, for the night comes before long, The road nearby warns me Of the tangled trail that rips from the main stem; I enter it I follow the roaming fence Suddenly a biting blast of air elbows my side and hisses threateningly I run, run, run Evolving, evolving into the fence’s shadow But I collapse at the hands of vines The eclipse of dusk concedes me a dastardly light And I see. . . Shedding gore, a bird is wheezing His belly billows, His wings are impaired His beak has abraded The many flies that relish the bird whisk, Like witches on broomsticks they fly away Thus quickly everything dies, All has died, I am dead, my soul has fled [comments] => 0 [counter] => 116 [topic] => 13 [informant] => dmkj25 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => DarkPoetry )
