Izzy Gumbo Poet Free verse

A Pier Amid My Journey

there's more hear

than an eye can see

" Dear God, it's talking IT! "

Nine tail feathers

I found in a comb...

so I added them back

to my wings of gold

and then Dear God,

" what a story THAT told!"

Midway through the tale I saw

smoking mirrors

and a Lion with claws

" Dear God, 
was it a cat I saw?"


Then I moved my wings

to clear the sky 

so I could see better

with my single eye

and appear amid...

a field of stars

I added them then

to the Ones in my heart

So now Dear God, I am...

ready to start

==================

“I've come to remember
and not forget
that a deal was made
on a One dollar bet"
