I created something there on stone strewn grounds
Scattered the remains across the fields
Shook my fist at an orange sky
My works crumbled in the making
Two figures approached
Appraising, frowning, drowning
I tried to explain how the piece should look
My entreaties were not sufficient for the cause
Melting words in a melting world
Pompeii
A trip through life with fingers crossed and eternal optimism.
Doing the best I can with what I have
kind of sad, but not so bad with cheese. cheese not provided.
My streams of thought meet here

Isn’t it cool? I wasn’t sure what I needed to illustrate this piece, and then I found this. I’m kind of fascinated by Pompeii.

I like that last line. It’s a nice short piece that left me puzzling over the exact meaning at the end. A nice change from some of the more concrete poetry about.

Thank you, Carol. Poetry isn’t my normal mode, but sometimes I feel a bit poetic. I’m not very accomplished, but it makes me happy. Or sad. Or confused.
