Magic Beans

Magic Beans Machines stand silent surrounded in dormancy Aged columns covered the landscape concrete white Electric wires danced about in disguises Pretended to be alive but were not Inevitably all things came to a stop The town closed down “Under construction” said the sign Pavement quiet Statues wait Perfect to the end There is nothing left to tell When the town shut down Machines still stand about Stand silent, surrounded in dormancy Created by: Earl Schumacker on 1/13/15 for Poet Destroyer A’ “Magic Beans” – Poetry Contest

Hi Sandra, Thank you so much. I am not getting my emails in Costa Rica. I just got back from the mountains and jungles there. I am in San Jose right now. I am still not getting emails. I found this and other comments by accident. I have a lot of catching up to do when I get back to the states. Thanks again. Take care. Earl

Hi SKAT, Thank you so much for commenting on my strange creation. I'm out of the country at this time and not getting my emails. I have a lot of catching up to do when I return to the states. Have a great evening. Take care. Earl

Hi Eve, Thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoyed it. As you know, my poem has nothing to do with magic beans. I'm glad that everyone is ok with that. I'm still out of the country at this time so I'm getting back to you and everyone late. I appreciate your comments and for the 7 you were kind enough to give me. Thanks again. Have a great day. Take care. Earl

Hi Linda, Thank you so much for considering my abstraction. Glad you liked it. I am still in Costa Rica and I am not getting my emails. I just discovered this by chance. I appreciate your comments. I am going to try to find your blog when I can. We are experiencing an earthquake at this time here in San Jose as I write this. The people around me don't seem to be too concerned so I will stop now and have some coffee. We don't let anything interfere with coffee time. Take care. Earl
