Bud posted a few new images this week to inspire poetry. The first is of an abandoned shopping cart at the edge of the ocean. Here’s what I wrote:
I’m not sure what’s taking him so long
to get the groceries:
the list was simple enough –
a gallon of milk,
a dozen bananas,
a little bit of orange juice …
I wonder if he has gone off the deep end
again.
And the second is a quiet scene — just two people holding hands, walking down the street. Here’s what I wrote:
She’d like to think
the silence,
a blanket;
She’d like to think
the fingers,
a thread;
She’s like to think
their dreams,
a quilt;
She’d like to think all that
but she’s just not sure,
and he’s not talking as they continue walking
into the quiet.
Peace (in the poems),
Kevin
