Directions For Destiny's Heartland

Decided to repost....hope you don't mind.

Westerly flows on

a northbound

express..

Trembling wasteland

in the dreams of

her dress...

 

Southerly tides

in East Michigan’s

winter...

cascading skies

under a buried

splinter...

 

Destiny’s heartland

in the middle of

nowhere...

condoms and fish gear

on a diet of

Lite Beer...

I love Marilyn, she was definitely a classic beauty. And the poem is amazing; I love the rhyme and flow of it. Brilliantly written, dear friend!

[Dream Weaver]

I do enjoy a good rhyme my friend and I must say that this is
a tremendous write. I'm diggin the infamous Marilyn pic, it adds
a certain nostalgic feel with a humorist twist..

I, too, feel like I am not aware of some back story going on here. But regardless, I really like the words you chose to write with. Plus, you always have a great picture to accompany your write!

I like your photos. This photo is beautiful. I like the description in the poem. Took me to many place with your words. Thank you for a outstanding poem.

Thank you for letting me know you changed this one.............quite an interesting story you have going here that I am apparently not privy to. :)

[LA Lorena]

I had to smile at this...I feel as though there is an entire back story that I'm not privy to. Loved the rhythm and rhyme. Nice to meet you!
