Click hereExcerpt from the autobiography of an omnipotent but oblivious god
The one who have the most
marine mammals
on their person when they die
wins,
you said
and turned your coat pockets inside out.
Out fell a twig carved like a seal,
a tiny china dolphin,
and two quite surprised dugongs,
who flopped about for a while
before the magpies descended
and shortly there after
the hoi polloi,
with well meaning buckets.
There was quite the commotion,
even made the local news.
But we were long since gone,
fresh out of scores. The end tally
would have to wait.

Esperanza_Hidalgoover 13 years agoi understand why he told me to read all of your poems. There is this strange subtlety that makes my mind wander about trying to understand. I read them several times and finally think I get it, but then I read them again and I get something else. So that is "it"?????
I can say no more because my brain hurts.
GuiltyPleasureover 13 years ago......poems that make you think and this one did. It's really lovely - the images are vivid yet surreal. It's almost Lennonesque (John) in the construction and vision. Congrats on the cherished red H!

fridayamover 13 years agono-one has pointed out the egregious error in line 1. I'm sorry to rain on the parade, but I think that this is clever but meaningless.
vrosej10over 13 years agoI love the first stanza enough for a recommend. What the hell have you been smoking/ingesting?
Dugong look like the bastard child of dolphins and seals. They are lovely, gentle creature with personalities like cows that live in seagrass beds. I am gathering they'd be in some shit now because one of their home grounds if just near brisbane...
