Poem #95: That One Time My Eyes Saw Everything
#96 of Poetry
A little poem of transformation imagery that I put together to help get my writing back on track. Try to visualize each transformation within each stanza. Hope you enjoy!
Paper covered bricks of paper
Lie in the corner
Quiet and inert
Suddenly, the pages
burst into flame
Crackle and pop!
Until naught but ash remains
Out of the ashes
a triangle tuft appears. Then another
followed by a pair of feline eyes
Yellow and watching
Whoosh! Out of the ashes
the sooty creature comes
Tail flickering
Run amok the kitty does
Faster and faster,
it's legs blurring together and melt
Fur becomes foamy, meows into roars
Black into blue
A tide of water rushing forth
Down the mountainside
Rock erroding river
into round little stones
All the stones lay scattered
One by one, they float
up and up, until all
are in the air.
One by one, they move and disintegrate
You can't see them,
but feel them as the air
Blowing and breezy
Now it's gusting about
Higher above our heads
becoming fluffy in the sky
Clouds that grow so white,
They begin to fall to the ground
Flake by little white flake
Forming a large, cold blanket
White is everywhere
But slowly, snow turns green
And tiny blades surface
Until we are surrounded
One blade of grass grows taller
and taller
Until it gains leafy accessories
And grows to be
a single red tulip.
