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. ))

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.

So, this is my reality show. It has always been you,
you alone, who centers me, you alone
keep my two feet ballerina balanced
going forward against my typical shuffle.
You push when I try backward steps and
don’t remember left from right, up or down.
Give me smile-dowsed anxiety pills to counter my
up-and-down, swelling-in-retaliation moods.
You accept, love, coddle, protect,
stand up against those fools who belittle.
Tall, so tall. Shoulders wide as mountains.
You become my daily dilemmas and push back to
fight my windmills alongside my wobbly swords.
You cheer like an entire stadium the days I succeed
always armored with sunshine banners and gentle words.
Show me where to place my heart. It is so big and so lost.
Up at the top shelf where my imagination wanders, I coast
to safety like birds escape the wind. Is it possible to
save me from myself? A battle that will outlive you beyond
the span of your own lifetime. I think about that moment every
day, wondering if I can’t come with you. Who will grant that wish?

When watching television is less distracting
[2018.8.6…a]

Another poem after the following text:
"So, you keep going. You don’t give up. You stand tall. You fight.
You always show up to save the day."
Meredith Grey; season 13 Jukebox Hero
