Poetry In Motion

I was witness to poetry in motion amidst all the world’s chaos and humdrum As the sun lazily rose from its eastern bowers this bare backed man presented quite a picture He gracefully lowered his oar with a soft swish moving slowly looking for fish Rowed his makeshift boat on scooter tyres the lone kayaker on lake waters. for Backwards poem contest by Matt Caliri
