I have absolutely no idea where this came from, just awoke and felt that need to write...


Poem Artwork

Bridge Out…


 


The bridge of souls,


Has been washed away,


I have not seen it myself,


I just go along with what the sign does say…


 


Where did it go, this bridge of woe?


If I were to get into a boat and did row,


Would I find the bridge downstream?


Or would it be at the falls or below…?


 


Out this bridge did go,


No more can we cross the river Styx,


The bridge did get the deep six,


No longer do we need to this bridge fix,


No more will we need all those piled up bricks…
