I知 Scared of Kangaroos!

by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen — Read all 1,670 poems by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen

Friday, August 17, 2007

I知 scared of kangaroos,
And, maybe, platypus, too!
I don稚 want Natures
Evolved claws
Slicing me
Into pieces. Oh, wait,
That already happened!
Not by nature,
By Man.

I知 scared of looky-loos,
And, maybe, impromptu tides.
I don稚 want Sciences
Evolving minds
Controlling slicing me
Into pieces. Oh, wait,
That already happened, again.
Not natured,
But, Manned.

I知 scared of misplaced dues,
And, maybe my own rectitude.
I don稚 want platitudes, or,
Evolution, anymore,
Slicing me
Into pieces. Oh, wait,
That already created
A need to go
Uncreated.

Yes, indeed, it surely did! Erin, you have a style - you have a unique voice - and you pack a great punch. Rock on, Poet!

OH Kangaroo's wont hurt you, I could show you some lovely tame one's..
But I know what you're saying...

But Roo's they are Kewl, accept if you corner a big Red, but thats unlikely, only hunters do that.
Come down under, and feed em at the wildlife sanctuary, and cuddle our Koala, they are adorable..

Koala Hugs and little Kangaroo hops

incredibly astute poem; concur with the reiteration of thoguhts, the running parallels and the myriad questions behind the phrase "slicing me into pieces"..how thoughts, indignities, time can break us down. .make us nothing more than pieces of the w.hole universe. .. . we are insignificant, but yet somehow, so much mroe than that-----you made me feel/think
incredibly, incredibly astute

Erin,

Childhood innocence slammed by man's "explanations": and then we turn around and blame Nature (God)? Who is the intelligent one? Excellent!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

No wonder we're afraid: spiders undo me. :)

Hi Erin Elizabeth, I liked your poem. I hope that remark isn't dull enough to scare you. One kangaroo might be OK but I am scared of kangaroos in groups. Or anything in groups come to think of it...Good write....Regards JDM

wow, what a ride! I love parallel constructions in poems and in music compositions. I like the beginning tone of almost naive childish allure; then you hit 'em with the "hard stuff" great messages and thoughts. I'll read it again, it should be thought on a bit. Nice to meet you (Im new) Keep being uncreated, originality can never be learned.
