The Stoner Collaboration
Contest by Charles Messina
Note. I will be honoured, if Charles chooses my stanzas to use in his poem
I was sitting on the corner, stoned When out of the blue, my dead aunt phoned How could this be, she rests in peace Right beside my loving niece. I answered the phone, and my auntie said “ I know you think that I am dead. “ “ I am alive” - my auntie moaned Or Could it be that you are just - “Stoned “ . I was bewildered in illusion Was it my hallucination ? Both were killed in car accident - I never forgot that event. I was stunned ! In surprise, I found the graveyard all around. Starting my journey from the womb, reached last destination to tomb.
