How I write, is mine…How you read, is yours

Tall trees
sawed and axed
chopped and felled
Nature choked,
uprooted and quelled
trampled and then flattened
Only to fill a few empty handbags
sitting new and pretty in stores
Where’s the justice?
Someone is too
vexed
about
a bag
being
taken
as one
wilted
jewel,
useless
if it does not
hold a thing inside


*I am posting this poem for G-Man’s Friday Flash 55 and for Theme Thursday*

**The idea for this was inspired the theme (paper) at this week’s Theme Thursday, and how it seemed to fit in perfectly with my recent packing activities for my upcoming India trip… I bought a few handbags for friends, and while packing them in, this was what I had observed!! Infuriating, really!!! **

*** The shape of the poem was inspired by a Sunday 160 poem called Roots of my poet-tree written by Brian Miller a few months back … I remember that particular poem by him because it was the first shape poem I had EVER read or seen.. and I was simply awestruck by it! Some poems just STAY with you… don’t they? ***

For aeons I’ve waited
Only for you
My feelings unabated
In this inky blue

I’ve seen your eyes
Look towards me
Scouring night skies
Amid a starry sea

Your earthy tether
I accept with grace
So we’re together
On spatial face

Finally here you are
On wings of hope
Unseeing my scar
Embracing my scope


**This is my version of what our lovely Luna might have told Neil Armstrong when he first touched her :)**

***Posted for Theme Thursday and G-Man’s ULTIMATE Friday Flash 55!!! Check ’em out, perhaps even link in a poem or two… AND ENJOY!!! ***

LOOK WHAT HAPPENED!!
