Scattered leaves with poetic imprints

by alfred booth, wanbli ska

Rated: 18+ · Book · Inspirational · #1489243

"Scattered leaved with poetic imprints." My new collection of poetry.

P.(tree)Log

** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Well, it's now mid- 2019 and this is still the only book I use to house part of my new poetry.
I began using it years ago due to a lack of storage space in my over-700 item WDC portfolio.
I really need to do some spring, summer, fall and winter cleaning.
There are still lots of static items which have never received any mention by other members here.

But that's part of the problem of being a writer ( musician, artist, actor ... ).
I do not know how to network.

Thanks for discovering this link. Please leave a comment.
Bookmark it, please....
This is a writing site and not FarceBrook where it's so easy just to press the button "LIKE."
(( And I am not a fan of the fact that WDC has added it. ))

I love this moment--thank you for capturing it and reminding me! A blue ending to the month for you and I've enjoyed reading your poetry again! So happy you made you way to the Dew Drop.Congrats and see you in other forums?

And it's wonderful to see the clouds "release" the moon. I've seen this in various ways in various phases of the moon. Often weirdly or wonderfully "caught" in trees, too!

We're having thunderclouds and release here, too.

I hope there is no such thing as "chocolate-coated morphine" since I am a chocolate fiend! I hope the headache is fictional too...

I love the subtleties of the grays here. And blues mixed in.

The poem I've been drafting also has gray mixed with blue! Not sure if that will be the one I actually post. Usually there are dribs and drabs of poems through the day (or night) before one comes together!

I like them all as usual. All very different and thought provoking. I remember how difficult it was some days to come up with one five liner, never mind four of them.

If pushed I'd say C is my favourite.

I connected best with C. The ending images are excellent. Might want to share it further.

another magic hour
this one says 22:22
how much happened then?
to us
sobbing
because love stories end
in the loneliness of midnight
the four zeros of start and stop
that allow memories
angels, fallen yet still trying to rise
wings broken, bruised inside
where the ache sews invisible scars
patterns we carry like death's dread
all of us suffer
following this unfair direction
when life drives through red lights
this wasn’t the right way
no, nor were any of the others
does this pain ever subside?
not until
we drown in the slow tow of the tide
ripping us from ourselves
and crashing against our dreams
not until
we submerge ourselves
in these waves emptied of empathy
can you tell me when this turns into the moment
we laugh during a Shakespearean tragedy?
it's the final moment we walk away from pain

we are still caught in its web
[2018.30.5…a]
