Lukas Ficklin Poet Imagism

Dui

Scraps of metal 
Surround the trees
Lying on the leaf covered floor
Smoke still rising 
From the smoldering engine
Heating the leather interior
A headlight makes a path to see
The other in front
A shattered windshield
Shows the flesh torn body
And the beer cans that 
Survived.

Tom Quigley June 15, 2016 at 6:45 AM Not too sophomoric at all...don't judge what you write by the number or type of responses! This is beautifully, incisively vivid with a serious knife twist at the end. Lukas Ficklin June 15, 2016 at 8:36 AM Thanks Tom.. You are so right!! Writing isn't new for me but poetry is. Thank you so much for the comment and kind reminder. :)
