get your motor running . . .



in the fecund spring,
when April’s sweet showers
have the drought of March
pierced and broken…

then people seek a token
by writing off
as joking
the prophet’s warning
popping into
their cars by morning
and off to work
roaring

heading down the hiways
looking for
advertisements
and what ever comes by
way

nature’s children
domesticated
by being wild
in the
time and place
allowed

domesticated dead
dead but dreaming
dreaming of
pilgrimages

I liked this poem, John. Especially the line, 'nature's children domesticated by being wild in the time and place allowed." Although the last four lines ring in my head too. ;) Silver

This is the rat race that I have tried to avoid. I have failed by any standard. Thanks for reminding me of the mundane. Great write.
Any poem that makes us feal is a good one.

These Black and Blue Red Zone Days by Aberjhani

Just as life during the pandemic was color-coded with different hues representing different levels of danger, life in its aftermath has become shaded in similar ways. As a self-styled “Seeker of Beauty with Beauty,” (borrowing from a quote by W.E.B.
