Premium Member Backwash

Listen to poem:
The backwash reflection
sent waves seawards
to crash headlong
into the oncoming waves
sending swash and spray skywards.
It was fun to go careering out 
and ride the surge, and get upshot
as the two waves met and banged together.
The afterglow of backwash aftereffect
was exhilarating that afternoon.


Chaos On the Causeway

A catastrophic collision
Caused by two careering cars 
Created chaos on the causeway 
Crumpling chrome and carbon parts

The chime of crunching metal
The clash of clanging swords
The scream of screeching rubber
Echoed through the mountains gorge

Two opposing forces 
Starting distance equal breadth
Sped head long into the canyon
Meeting chaos causing death

Premium Member To Grasp a Reason

Careering headlong through an era of his mind
he needs to revisit his vision of that time
forgetting life there could often be a grind,
careering headlong through an era of his mind
where folk would not comprehend some oh so blind
that criminals were not alone committing crime,
careering headlong through an era of his mind
he needs to revisit his vision of that time.

I Begin To Fly

I step up 
the open door awaits
sights appear in front 
canvassed blue is what I see..

Into it .. I jump..

and drop 
spearing
spiraling 
careering
head first 
into the unknown
trekking down 
at blistering speeds

Where I wake up..

and spread my arms, 
birthing wings
with sturdy legs 

as my quest begins

and I am full of wonder..
for the moment comes,
the clock ticks,
and like a bird,
I begin to fly.
