Sunday Muse Poem -- Now What?

 


Other side 

Not sure how I got here 
Guards, guards, guards, everywhere 
I trusted--now these bars 
Not a prison but what 

For my safety they say 
I just wanted to climb 
Climb up that tall giant 
Sixteen story challenge 

Not the climb their worry 
But getting back down, whew 
Didn't tell them, I won't 
Lifelong intent--I'd fly

Weekly Scribblings -- The Hunt, Little but Old

[click on picture for large, click again for very large picture]

 Hunkered Down 

I'm hunkered down not hidden very well 

Like a little bunny rabbit, real still 

You'll see me if you're looking really good 


Little but actually I'm very old 

My bones are brittle my joints are rusty 

A terrible stew not good for cooking 


Here with my friends violets and pansies 

Shaking in fear--good catch I wouldn't make 

Dust over blue terrible color too 


Please walk on by I'm not the one for you

 - I am linked with Magaly Guerrero at The Weekly Scribblings #69,   https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/2021/05/weekly-scribblings-69-of-hunt.html -- Magaly wanted us to write as the being/object being hunted.  I went with my friend John one Saturday morning in 2009 to find and see these cars.  He was in the market for a Ford Model T but did not buy this 1926 one, nor either of the other two which I had published in my 2009 posting.
