Juggling Heads by =flaery:iconflaery:





Begin with the water--

     rivers
         ripple
       from
             fingers
          stroking
         the
     surface.
          
Suppose
      you
            take
                   steps
and defeated
the red ghosts' stare?


           He'll take
then she'll grab
                  and a push
pull match
            leaves you
            here--
breathless and imagining
their thoughts as tools:

wavelengths
tangling and suffocating
you.

And you . . .

                        just you . . .

                                                       teetering.

Ok ok, I know I said the last poem was my going away present, but I saw this contest and I couldn't resist. I'm not going to explain this one except to say I wrote it because the contest inspired me :D

Stock is from: [link]

Edit: I changed the category since I saw the thread changed, and there is now a contest category for it :)

very interesting structure. Nicely stepped and formed.. quite entertaining tripping along the verse.
Blessings,

Thanks :) I was supposed to do something different from usual, and I don't normally mess to much with the structure like this, and so I thought it would be fun :D. (And it was!)

Hehe. Well, we shall see. I don't think I will, but I'm just glad it inspired me to write something :) Thanks!

That must have taken some imagination to write.
