Ouija Vu

I hit the ground running
Feet flat on the clouds
As fast as Mercury
With broken wings
Light as an elephant
Heavy as a feather
Where's the ouija board
Deja vu
Deja vu
Day- light view
Not needed whispered
Purple dragonfly dressed in rags
Not needed butterfly
Dressed in silk hummed
Cloud-light shining brightly in my eyes
Blinding me
Seeing eye dog ahead
On a one-dollar bill
Follow me he said
A message I have
Ouija board ?
Deja vu
You swallowed the ouija board
Message inside you said
The viole(n)t-eyed cat with two tails
Soft as quills
Mercurious  sent me
Skimming the earth
Message inside
For better
Or worse
First or last
Now or later
Forever
Until the next
Deja vu
Deja vu
Orange light flashes
Shivering neon
Message must wait
Today's not the day

An enthralling and fascinating read. Very much enjoyed the word play here.

I see that I have found a new poet to read through.... I really enjoyed this poem.... It has me wanting a part 2.... Heavy as a feather..... Nice...... Nice allegories ...... Very nice thought out poem.......

[Alex S Hunt]

I loved this. Very fluid, and back-to-the-body strength. I love the tempo and the word choice. Admittedly I don't read a lot of poetry, but I think this is beautiful.

The whole poem felt like someone running through an entire forest and almost made you out of breath even just reading it in your head, well done.

[Gary H]

I wonder what would happen if you started with the last line and ended with it too? Would this make the poem go around and around?

[sharonlee]

Ooo... how fast paced and frenetic this is to read, for me anyway, I found myself speeding to the finale line and reading all over again!

[Tiberio Tano]

I like the alternating antonyms. I also like using the style. It evokes conflicting emotions which makes one feel. Great job.

[Fire Mage Andrea]

I like that bit where it goes "Light as an elephant
Heavy as a feather" - it's contradictory, but in a poetic way
Or "cloud-light" instead of "sun or moon light"
It moves quite quickly too.

[Rod Dangers]

Awesome contradictions and turnarounds. Really really enjoyed this and will be reading again. So much said it definitely requires and deserves to be read many a time.

Brava -Claps- I loved how it drips with rhythm.....I feel myself running with you, dodging the circumstances that prevent you from reading the message. And then I am left with desiring to know what the message is that you are waiting for, that your are running towards, that you are trying so desperately to attain through the repetitive pitfalls towards its being understood. I really really enjoyed this work of yours. The poem almost has a dream-like sensation to its rhythm and flow. Well done, well done.
