Jim Tomcatx Poet Free verse

In the Breezy Trees

We are in 
the breeze 
with trees possible 
off the flying lake

look for orange cone
wearing silver mask
in front of the office 
in back of the park

No back-to-back
or front-to-back
conversations
on old rocky route
where roots are not masked

Dogs wearing masks
are welcome
Humans need to be 
on leashes

Rain policy
will be localized
at the park

You can just
show up on 
a deconstructing
road to nowhere

Road to hell does not show
up on Google Maps

Easy Rated Go
for Beginners
Distance: 3.23589 light miles

Call me when you arrive
Call me if you don't arrive

Directions:
Go east
0.8 miles
turn when you
see the squirrel
drive off the cliff
fall 0.3 miles
land upside down
on the rocky parkway
turn west
crawl 0.2 miles
swim in creek
pet the alligator
and snake

Go 1/250th of a mile to 
parking entrance 
to your left 
on your right

To the left is an orange
-00000 mile marker trail loop

To the right is a 
silver gentle tree man 

Bring your own
porta john
& newspaper

All welcome
in the Road
go two minutes
follow the Jaguar
chasing the dinosaur

Play baseball on the Floating Lake
Give away tickets to hunger games
hike in bathrooms in lake's center

Conversions permitted on gravel
Conversations will unravel

Laura Leiser October 1, 2022 at 11:14 AM This is hilarious and genius at the same time! I got a real kick out of it! Funny! :) Jim Tomcatx October 1, 2022 at 12:07 PM Many thanks for your kind feedback. It's partially a "found poem" (some of the lines were derived from local hiking group announcements) though the poem definitely goes off in an original (& intentionally comical) direction.

Constance La France August 13, 2022 at 7:13 AM nj, so creative and wonderfully penned, I enjoyed your poem a lot, blessings ~Constance Jim Tomcatx August 13, 2022 at 7:15 AM Thank you--I should mentioned in notes that's it's sort of a "found poem" (based on hiking group announcements and manipulated in a way to make it surreal & humorous).
