Skywriting

By lupus tenebrae





Are my ears aware of answers,
quick and nimble autumn dancers?
If I trace my finger will you
read my every single line?

With my mind so transcendental
and my soul as sentimental,
rubbernecking wildly, a 
search for writing in the sky.

Sorry, is my accent rubbish?
Oops, forgot to dot the “I”.
I just hope you watch me, squirming
helplessly to match goodbyes.

  • A former member wrote: You make writing look so easy, and you make it rhyme, I really like this one.

    Great piece! It has a nice flow, the rubberneck part had me chuckling though.

  • A former member wrote: Raw indeed. The last line struck another nerve. I've both played this situation and been the receiver. The humorous lift at forgetting to dot the eye plucked a chord and the last sang it straight home.

  • A former member wrote: Haha.. I Liked That.. That Shit Was Raw..

    I like the idea that we all call ourselves "I" but are we worthy of that title.

    well.....there are poems that all can relate to, there are those that few can relate to, then....there are those divine gems that seem to speak directly to ones self, as if the very words were writ upon the soul, an instant and undeniable blood-knowing...... you have, without even knowing, perhaps hoping so, placed your art so deeply within me here... I am somewhere.....within all emotion, equally, and utterly slain......... bravo! bravo! ,,,,how few can truly reach me........, you have. ~b

    I love the flow of words. The smooth transitions and simplistic imagery leave much for the imagination. A great read.

    I see lots of this, as well as banner planes, along the beach. Advertising stuff like happy hour, ladies drink free, at XYZ Club, South Beach. Back to the poem: rubbernecking takes me back a while (my ex-father-in-law). Your accent is fine mi amigo, y no seas un estranjero. Cheers Wolfie!
