Poem Artwork

Carbon Copies:

 

Landscapes collide against an opaque dream.

Trees like another as are the rocks and stream.

Carbon copies; a faux nature; diluted an incomplete.

As face cries out to face in simplicities duplicate need.

 

Mimeographed hearts listen, and then still their beat.

Replications are over done.

Opaque is the dream.

Beautiful write.
Life is a carbon copy. Each day we awake, live and at night we sleep. Until the final rest comes.
God Bless,

I feel that all political parties hold us all hostage everytime elections come around. I am so bored with alabaster lies and promises. They should be more accountable to their promises. I'm not happy with any of them and feel cheated this time around.
It's more and more of a circus.

Give my best to Leah.
Blessings and love,
Susan

Now this is a neat write and pic, Allen! Karen Lynn and I are almost carbon copies of another (twins). :) Yet, a lesson in here about Nature, I thought, anyway. Well done!

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