green in a world of leaves
darkness, yes darkness is good
brown, try to remember
slither and segue from safety to safety
for a moment, on a leaf
long, slow, staring
legless as a cucumber
restless with recklessness
rage, standout and return

Have passed, I thought, a whip-lash
Unbraiding in the sun,--
When, stooping to secure it,
It wrinkled, and was gone.
-ED, A narrow fellow in the grass
Hi lometa! Glad you came by for a visit. Hope you enjoyed this and glad it made you remember that wonderful passage from ED. Thanks for sharing it.
"...staring legless as a cucumber..." great line Russell!! I've been known to "slither and segue from safety to safety"! Great poem!!
Thanks Pat! Glad you enjoyed it! You've been on a real roll, lately. You have been showing astonshing depth and range. I've been working on some minimalist stuff in the near past and really enjoying it - you know, 1 to 7 word poems. I'll post some soon. Also, check out Mike Snider's new free verse poem.
A word chameleon blending in with the text, given away by slight of hand I really like this
Thanks Sue! When I wrote this, something about the images reminded me of your work. Glad this slithered through your mind in such a happy way.
A whimsical write.:)
Thanks Aurora! Whim the metaphore strikes you, use it - that's my motto! Seriously, thanks for the nice comment.
