Summer evening

July 6, 2022 / Fran Haley / Leave a comment

Sweeping summer storm
erases the sky

Evening draws
her pink silken bed curtains
with a sigh

View from my front porch last night, after the storm

Even more metaphor dice

What a roll of the dice! Well, here’s a fun poem…not my usual fare…

Your ego is a feckless maelstrom
billowing with doom
a virtual vacuous vacuum
threatening to consume
all who wander near your path
for all infinity
your Luciferian hubris-wrath
the end of you and me.
