Something's Afoot

Something's afoot I picture it I sense it I detect it I hearken Something's stirring It's moving It's probing It's pushing It's clawing Something's imminent It's nearer now It's drawing closer It's - omg - alive It's about to … 5 4 3 2 1 I can't bear to look -- You tell me what it is … Oh, it's just your kid brother Who buried himself alive Emerging from the sand Ho - hum!

Love the diversity of your poetry, Gershon, and the ladder effect of the shape, which incidentally, you could use as the form,,Great poem, enjoyed.

That's a great suggestion, and I'm going to change the poem type designation right now. Much appreciated, Harry. Best of the season! ~ Gershon
