Some impromptu poetry - ENJOY
Talisman
Veteran
The pencil is wood
and graphite
The paper is smooth
Between them
My mind shapes words
---
In the budding dawn of spring
There are rainy days
and the welcomed symptoms of change
As the patient sun
warms the patient earth
---
I have stepped away from the road
and can't remember how long I've been traveling
Here on the shoulder
I watch others drive by
Very few even see me
and none stop to join
I leave my old vehicle abandoned
and walk away without farewell
and graphite
The paper is smooth
Between them
My mind shapes words

In the budding dawn of spring
There are rainy days
and the welcomed symptoms of change
As the patient sun
warms the patient earth

I have stepped away from the road
and can't remember how long I've been traveling
Here on the shoulder
I watch others drive by
Very few even see me
and none stop to join
I leave my old vehicle abandoned
and walk away without farewell

Thanks @Talisman!

Do you mind if others contribute to your thread?
Memory recalls the embers of the fire as dazzling
and forgets the longing soothed and mesmerized
Long tongues licking in darkness
Sparks leaping on their brave voyage
It is really just the universe echoing
Keep a light on in your door
Not as a sign to the Lord
And not in open rebellion either
Perhaps just because you can and you wish it
