Magic Mushroom

Aroma lingers within the encasing bastion, aisle upon aisle haunts the ancient catacomb that is home to the decisive many. User friendly ecstasy depending on Fahrenheit fifty two, this golden age to cherish? Hypothermia guaranteed, with anything less. Inward the soul is searched, waves of thoughts woven by the juggler, the body a vast kingdom to learn yet the power to levitate. The mind, acting out mutation although not in the normal way, “Optimist” He thinks he’ll save the world when standing tall upon its pinnacle. Ne’er question hell upon earth or life in constant rotate, darkness into light synthesize the mingling tendon of dawn unfolds. From the elusive underground the mind retreats while hazily shedding off coats of vertigo, worn, his weary body loiters with gleet till “Xavier” goes flashing by. “Screaming, his deep desires yearn for the potency of ‘Zeus’” © Harry J Horsman 1992 A form of ABC poetry, each line first starting with an A must contain a letter in order, from the alphabet, second line B etc till the last line Z.

Hmmm...In my younger, foolish days I was quite familiar with 'magic mushrooms'...could we be speaking of the same thing? (No? Oh well, thought I'd give it a shot) A truly mesmerizing piece of work, Harry...Congrats - Tim
