Click hereWe see where you walked wednesday
The wake head in winter fall lined
Clear flowed leaves left brittle brown
Pathway patterns clutter confuse our eye
And trip traps crushing crunch call our ear
Beneath it all unseen unknowing
Black pearls move onward outward unmoved
At the death that fall flows winding winded
Turns and turns mulched rended beneath out feet.
The beetle loves what’s left behind
Sturdy black, forward strong, move sure
Nowhere it goes it leaves very long
As it rolls relentlessly on or on
Heedless of hands and teeth or sticky tongue
The night brings to take away
Leaving the leaves to die the same
As if it had never been there at all

Anonymousabout 18 years agoI had to read it several times because it was a bit choppy in areas. I think it had to do with very little punctuation. I would really consider it or doing some line breaks. Thank you for sharing and keep writing! :)
WickedEveabout 18 years agoThe title caught my attention.
And the first few lines leave me wondering if you were inspired by my wednesday's walk. :)
Anyway, good poem. And I really love that title.
