Wonderment

A rare abstract poem of fantasy while also being thought-provoking.

               Wonderment #1

 

 

Water rushes, tickling feet with sand.

Gilgamesh relaxes by the sea.

Purple Echinacea sends a cone into rain.

Chopin laughs and strokes his polonaise.

A beetle digs the desert, over oil.

Chang Sung-Up daubs a mystery in ink.

 

Water trickles down a granite wall.

Lao-Tzu hikes through summer's offerings.

Yellow lilies waver in the wind.

Tasman lacquers the last board of his keel.

Crystals mingle with Icelandic ash.

Lodi licks his chops, nudge-nudge, wink-wink.

 

Water batters barns from red to gray.

Burck paints Frida as Leipzig hums along.

Canandaigua feels the White Snake's breath.

Handsome Lake enjoys a drive-in movie.

Sesame rice lands in a wooden bowl.

Africa snaps a twig and starts to think.
