There's No Place Like Home

Inspired by an exercise called "The Ten Minute Spill" by Rita Dove, as edited in "The Practice of Poetry" by Robin Behn and Chase Twichell.

Mother and father decided to marry
On a needle inside a cloud
The birds voiced their objections
But formally witnessed the vows

Cliff licks the blackberry sky
With a grin carved into stone
When life throws a mess your way
There’s no place like home.


©2007 Mark C. Carroll
