Get-away




It’s  like reading poetry,
 presumptuous feeling
 I drift surreal
on the arms of the autumn wind
with nothing to restrain my mind
relying fully
on a few gaudy synthetic bubbles
and poetry
to carry me over
a world of dwarfed troubles,
a canopy of roof-tops
of pasture and sea
sprawled in a patch-work quilt
far, far beneath me

It’s so quiet here….

Mo-o-o-o-m!
Where’s my hat?
Jolt!
Bump!
Reality!

  3. That is the problem with a poet's life. Reality keeps intruding.
