The Sky Around Me

from the ABC set POETRY - A Passage of Motion 2

Through the door and
into another
world, my thoughts
behind me

pine cones for gifts, scrabble
a game and I am the
dice
thrown about.

Plans enter my mind, of
deserving attitude
then the mouse
skitters,
a trap nearby
prevents escape.

Against one wall my
only grasp of
reality, and
I take it with both hands

life is good, cherry blossoms
scented,
my taste buds accepting.

Hi Richard,

I really liked this poem, it almost had an Alice in
Wonderland feel to it.

Like the lines:-

pine cones for gifts, scrabble
a game and I am the
dice
thrown about.

Great read.

Jenny.

Thank you so much Jenny, for the comparison. Alice...is such a masterpiece. I am humbly jealous of such talented authors. Richard LP
