Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 7. Free Verse and Walk
Free Verse
Free verse? Well, I've seen that,
as free as any Spaniel or lap cat,
free to walk in wooded weeping
or explore anxious gardens,
digging or leaping, past
boundary fences designed
for prose-bound creatures
on mental leashes.
Free verse? What's that, you ask?
As hard-toil won as any other task,
and paid for by illuminated experience,
observations not found in Facebook,
haggling or bartering for
each shiny new episode
wrapped in life's plastic film
as a collector's item.
Walk
Walk:
the reason for our meeting,
begun in trepidation,
our hugs in public greeting
released anticipation.
Walk,
to stroll as friends, the city,
and share our daily story
with humor droll and witty
beneath the noonday glory.
Walk
into an elevator
a ride we take for pleasure;
embraces not much later
our memories will treasure.
