Fanciful Visions

     A thought flew by
       I tried to snatch it
     But from the air
       I just could not grab it

     Next floats an image
       along the banks of my brain
     Yet when I try to recall it
       it slips down the drain

     Then ‘fore my eyes a rainstorm
       furious its pellets, slit-slanted its form --
     O, to trap her lightning in a bottle
       yet though I lunge, she's going full throttle…

    Seems I just haven’t much luck
       with fanciful visions I would pluck

    My lithe and limber fingers gnarl up…                     
       Stop saying ‘Timber’ ~ they’re stuck
