Insightful quotes provide life to blank walls
The white are as welcome as the half-brown and the half-orange
A pumpkin possesses patches with pumpkins possessing patches possessing a perpetual cycle
Love engulfs this room like the sound waves of Led Zeppelin
A poster honors the works and writers of my teacher of tenth grade
Legends grace the photo in the rear of the premier Calliope
And Jackie Addesso's "Empty Wonders" fills one of many pages
From a six-stringed wonder comes all that fills the world
A pair of trees shades travelers on the empty, torn road
Winding through the immortality of the Blue Ridge Mountains
As the voices reach me, I wonder
Can a fundamentalist promote peace?
Far too delicious and diverse an array of items
Are revealed with gratefulness of a thousand thankful hearts
Clancy's games share a shelf with the strain of Crighton
And the classics share a corner with contemporary poetry
Soft is the carpet of presentation
Where verse, music, and story vividly enter the intent ears of a varied audience
The heather atop the hill of diversity
Picked and prepared into a bountiful bouquet of sights and smells
And the classics share a corner with contemporary poetry
Soft is the carpet of presentation
Where verse, music, and story vividly enter the intent ears of a varied audience
The heather atop the hill of diversity
Picked and prepared into a bountiful bouquet of sights and smells
That all who see will behold, and all who hear will listen
To the ambrosia created and presented within these walls

So much can take place in one room, all at one time. I think your poem can really grasp all the different aspects of a particular room. I must say, I think the first line made the poem.
ReplyDeleteJim, you have amazing language in this piece, I have so many favorite lines! And you have so much alliteration in the piece as well, and it helps to add to the entire flow of the poem :)
ReplyDeleteI dig the allusions in this. Especially when you write, "To the ambrosia created and presented within these walls." Good stuff, man. Good stuff...
