Desiccated...

by Richard Lloyd Cederberg — Read all 280 poems by Richard Lloyd Cederberg

A lifeless forlorn place lacking vitality and spirit. Acrostic.

Monday, June 10, 2024


Poem Artwork
Devoid of aim or vitality, with
Energy and focus lessened - purpose
Struggles against an enfeebling force, an
Immeasurable arid nuisance trying to hinder
Creative output while minifying one’s desire to
Communicate originative stimulus – a dry rank wind
Attempting to asphyxiate output. And while dealing with
This dread unhealthiness, a throwback emerges, a kind of
Eccentric wishful dreamer prone to indifference, and the type of
Detrimental behavior that twiddles its thumbs for inspiration

BUT THERE IS SUCH A BLESSING IN THE WAITING, RICHARD. HOW? BECAUSE ONE ALREADY 'KNOWS' THEY WAIT NOT IN VAIN. FOR WHEN 'HIS' FLOOD DOES ARRIVE IT WILL LITERALLY SATURATE ONE'S PANTING ARIDITY TO THE POINT OF OVERFLOWING... SO MUCH SO THAT ONE WILL HONESTLY BE ABLE TO SAY...DEAR LORD, YOU WERE 'WORTH' THE WAIT! AMEN. THANKS FOR SHARING THIS WORK WHICH SUBSTANTIATES WHAT I'VE ALWAYS KNOWN...WHEN A POET THINKS HE IS RUNNING ON EMPTY...INDEED, HE IS FULL OF WHAT IS NEEDED FOR THE PRESENT TIME. FINE DESCRIPTION OF YOUR 'DETRIMENTAL BEHAVIOR'(SMILE). LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

Very well written acrostic defining desiccated very thoroughly.

The image would suggest that the place had once been very nourishing and full of life to have grown a tree of that proportion. Reminds me of the piece of driftwood that I picked up in the desert on the Baja Peninsula on my way to San Felipe in 1968. It still has a place of honor on the front deck of my house after all the years.

I've been there too, under the most stressful and sorrowful situations in life but even then I searched out inspiration, sometimes in the most unusual places. Well penned, Richard.

Been down that road many times. I'm always searching for the right image that stimulate my soul, heart & mind...I love to escape into pictures and sound together. That's what gets the spirit in me to flow rivers. Enjoyed this Richard
