Poem Title:
Poem
10/17/16 Back to the fundamentals It's been happening worldwide, continental Wilted leaves and healthy flower petals Amid Large boulders or tiny pebbles Among soft to hard metals The rain at times may be gentle or torrential Call it quintessential Way before fishing vessels Or the use of any mortar and pestle Since the dawn of time, it's been rather elemental Regarding anything existential Some things were on purpose or accidental On my shoulders an angel and a devil Is with what I wrestle Times may get stressful But If you want to be successful Focus on what is important, don't be forgetful Or too fretful Take some risks and try to reach another level Buildings and bodies considered temples Take care of what you love, don't be neglectful Something special and sentimental Sat atop a trestle Eggs and animals with speckles Humans with moles and freckles Certain meals cooked with fennel Or lentils While using cooking utensils With or without a stencil Messages and art done in many ways, some used pencil Near are far away from where very few or a vast amount of people settled In some areas are plants like nettles And many animals currently nestled When we walk or run by an insect does the ground quake and tremble? Files stored away classified as "confidential" Sometimes just one or several At times events occurred that were coincidental And rather monumental Many festivals Where people revel During a day so eventful Materials and so much more being disassembled For reasons considered scientific and experimental Continually money being embezzled In ways that are disrespectful and vengeful By: Dalton Ogletree
