Slowly in

Photo by Brooke Shaden


                 Here I’m in the doubt/dare/bite chair
unhappy moments…, TV on the ceiling,
courteous “what channel?”,
“please, music” and ‘thanks’.

Expectation time long….longer..
askew little art on the wall
in the rusty as if sanguinary frame

Guest house? move closer...
the furry pet passed by in the hurry…
time? smell the flowers
pulled in…the crimson scent/sense

found in the air…which way?
gone by wind…the cup, the pet, the saucer
steady rotating at the periphery….

notice vent blades approaching
oh, silver tassels…
Grab one!…Bite on!...Done!
…………………………………

Nightmare catch/cage better.

    Between the action in the words an image, a whirlwind… Enjoyed.

    All come together in life in some way at the end of the day

    your poem speaks of the "endless fall" effect in the image. A fine piece.

    I thought of Alice in Wonderland and the endless change of scenes -
    You've captured the beauty of the picture and the horror of nightmares.

    I went in a different direction - I played here:

    A head over heels tumble, well captured.

    That is a wonderful Alice in Wonderland type of image and you have captured the dreamlike feel of the abstract in your words.

    A lot like life, sometimes, as it slips by so quickly, from one second to the next!

    I like the movement in this poem! And your ending really brings the poem to a strong conclusion. "Bite on! Done!"

    Your poem explores the chaos and distress caused by a fall in a convincing manner.

    What a wonderful tumble down of words...for some reason it transported me to a dentist chair...and the thoughts that pour out as you have nothing to do but gaze at the ceiling

    I like the speed in this and the change of scenery, like a photo slide show of life.

    Wonderful use of the words and how in the world did you find a modern day Alice? So great for your words.

    Impressed upon my mind was a sense of the rabbit hole.
