From sea to sagebrush,
opulence to Ozymandias,
majesty to mockery;
from all-pervading storm to placid summer,
contemplative renaissance to intellectual trenches,
warm sun to hot black hole;
from Keats to Captain Killgore,
dizziness to mastery,
bull-like lust to wolfish aloofness;
from penitent grief to profitable practicality,
melodic enchantment to discordant disease,
frantic grace to calm confusion;
from the energetic ambition of youth to the weathered wisdom of fifty,
barely living seed to leafy bourgeois,
desperate words to celebrated tome.

Sander Roscoe Wolffalmost 19 years agoI really wanted to like this but, at the end, felt somewhat disappointed. I kept expecting some clear conclusion, rather than endless waffling. To me, it felt more like a writing exercise than a poetical expression.
Still, keep writing, and keep posting! That's why we're all here.
