Best Axil Poems
The wind sways the sea of grass
Suddenly from eerie forest comes something with mass
The hunter’s blood is on fire but courage fear must surpass
If he does not make this shot count the beast will shatter his bones like glass
The colossal boar charges with great speed
It crashes through the grass the trees and the weed
The hunter shoots but behind the tree hides crossbreed
It’s now hunters’ heart not hogzilla that will bleed
As cold sweat enters the hunters’ soul
The beast is charging without control
In the few meters between the seeker and the hog there is no hill or hole
Noting to slow down boars ‘charging roll
With his last gasp hunter rearms the gun
His shadow blocks the very sun
As towards him the beast will run
He fires a bullet with distance between him and hog one inch just one
The hog falls down as hunter regains his nerve
But this hog has something in reserve
The green blue aura hogs life will preserve
And later hog coming back to life the hunter will observe
For thirteen foot hog was not crossbreed
But a supernatural seed
That in this form hid
In the forest with animals amid
The hog came from portal
Where tree of beyond abstract towers like Babel
Where connected to abyss destiny is truly detached from expanses’ axil
And where the creature is from point of view of that expanse immortal
Worlds fair
Chicago 1893
No one had ever seen it before
A new concept
Who would try it?
George’s kids wanted to.
His wife was askance, but she trusted her husband.
He had built it, right?
They sat gingerly onto the seats.
Pretty soon everyone was clamoring for a ride.
A large upright wheel that revolved on an axil
with people screaming in terror from their seats
The first ferris wheel
named for George Ferris,
the engineer who created it.
Tested by his children and his wife.
