Debbie Guzzi Poet Diminished Hexaverse

Dusted

Men came with their ship.
Armstrong on the moon.
Dust stirred in a sigh.
Rising it covered
the false skin of man.

Sharp, angular
cold dust abrades
charged and clinging
like gunpowder

deal killer
magnetic
lunar dust

hazard
warning

moon

Dust

asset
wonder

arrival
man on moon
colonies

life expanding
a gateway orb
platform to stars
microwaved glass

Moon dust the dream ash
a hydrogen source
an oxygen source
the remnants of stars
histories first scent

Michelle Mac Donald March 20, 2012 at 12:40 PM Vivid imagery, Debs! Oh, feels like one place I'll pass on. Still, I can always admire it from a distance.:) Hope all's well with you, and Smokey is behaving! Keep well, love, Mikki

Joyce Johnson March 20, 2012 at 12:08 PM Looks as though you have a winner here. I have been too busy with other things to try the contests that are more involved, but when I get the time would like to try this one. I had so much fun with your language contest and I did slip in a few slang words of my own. Love, Joyce
