Poetry Soup
Poetry Soup
On a stone in the forest a rusty pot full of soup, I tasted it with my
right index finger it was still warm. I felt dizzy around me darkness
descended it embraced me and I became a part of this weird mass,
without will of my own. Wind blew me around like I was in a centre
of vacuum till I lost all sense of time and place. When I woke up on
soft moss it was sunset and I saw lovely forest maids with boar tails,
their job is to protect saplings, swimming in a tarn. When they saw
me they became furious, called me a pig, got out of the water and
chased me out of their enchanted forest; all the while I was slapped
by tree twigs, scratched by thorny bushes and called a Peeping Tom.
Next day I tiptoed into the forest saw the pot of soup on a stone, but
wisely desisted a taste; the tarn was still and deep.
