Trees
yo ho he yo! sailing
the vasty deep
i live in a sea of sage
low to the ground trees
when looking out surveying
the scene
one could imagine what
is seen is a deep green sea
yo ho he yo!
few trees on
the mesa that stand above the
sage
the wind blows every
afternoon
it blows through
the sage
one of the few plants that
thrive in the desert
yo ho he yo!
perfect trees for the tiny people of
Lilliput
Note: ‘The vasty
deep,’ Shakespeare.

Zombies
so little to be said...
zombies are unknown
to me
i’ve never seen one hope i never do
don’t even like pretend
don’t see movies about
zombies
i don’t like to be frightened
life is scary enough pot holes and booby traps
lay in wait
for the unaware
i like to think I walk a
sunny path even though I know
it
isn’t true
instead a roller coaster i
ride sometimes up
often
down
i remain on
guard

Nice. I love sage. The desert has its own trees.
Love the one about the sage, Annell. I can almost smell it. AFA zombies, I prefer ghosts, myself. They are less messy.
I live in a sea of sage...lovely.
trees are dangerous to go near at sunset-that is the time of zombies-unique write enjoyed the suspense
Like the fact that are skeptical .. yet, remain on guard!!! (I have never seen a zombie movie, nor do I wish to .. smiles)
of course I meant 'you' are skeptical
Lovwe! Sage as trees for the tiny ones, of course. Fun. I have difficulty with the three column form, usually, but this time I read down teh middle letting my eye catch the pearls to each side and found it was like walking through the woods--or grass andsage so much taller than me. Very neat. As for the zombie poem, I quite concur, so i thought I had nothing to write, but you have given me an idea. Staying on guard is brilliant!
Great poems, I liked the zombie one.
I love sage, and enjoy the comparison to looking out as if over a deep green sea. Love the piratey yo ho ho's too, argh! As for zombies, I'm with you, I dont watch scary movies, "life is scary enough".
how i love to live in a sage...and you are right when you say life is scary enough.. ...
I like the skitter scatter of words...it reads like how you might be thinking as you lay them down....yes..stay clear of zombies and keep searching for trees! xo
Your tree poem caused me to reflect on the differences in landscapes in different areas of our country here. Sage definitely would be perfect for lilliputians! Smiles.
Then soon will stop by one... am kidding :P
hiya...sorry for the late read...I really what your word play/swirling brought to the chaotic zombie theme. Thanks for posting to the out of standard!
