broken morning

a thousand pieces of bad luck
surrounded me this morning
they exploded with a "twang-swish"
skating in slow motion
to all corners of my room

with broom and pan
in hand
i looked down and caught
a thousand me's
staring back
waiting
for my next
careless
move




"HEY, DON'T THROW THAT AWAY, I MIGHT NEED IT SOMEDAY!!!" Packratmike

I am impressed by the fantastic imagery. Great to see you back on these pages after a rather long pause.

I love this poem! We have all had a similar mishap. Most all of us just #*!!^@!*. You on the other hand went on to produce this little gem right here. Write on, Poet!

Gotta love it and I do. Interesting take on the mindset of the one writing this. I, of course, got off on the last four lines.

If they give you ruled paper write sideways.

I can't go there, friend, but positive thoughts are heading your way. Powerful writing.
