IMAGE VIOLENCE

An unreasoning factor
In that image      and
A shot still ringing!

Lines of people running
Walking
Shouting!

An image in space
Given lasting life
Over hours    days    years!

An image
With lines from the past
Giving added color      charging!

"unreasoning factor", Daver, as in irrational, illogical, aberrant, absurd? A spooky puzzle of phantoms and ghouls; A crucial piece missing...the why? You never mentioned being a " Who you gonna call, Ghostbuster", Daver? :) Envy, jealousy, greed; will forever make cruel and mindless playmates. Happy Halloween! Love you, with hugs, Mikki

Sorry about the verbal diarrhea, Daver. I do very much enjoy this write! Masterfully of intriguing; the format gives it more of an edge, But I didn't mean to jump over it.:( Keep well, best wishes with hugs, love, Mikki

I like your words better than mine, dear Mikki. Your comment is better poetry than mine, yet you hold back. Love you back with hugs. Old daver
