Directions For Destiny's Heartland

Decided to repost....hope you don't mind.

Westerly flows on

a northbound

express..

Trembling wasteland

in the dreams of

her dress...

 

Southerly tides

in East Michigan’s

winter...

cascading skies

under a buried

splinter...

 

Destiny’s heartland

in the middle of

nowhere...

condoms and fish gear

on a diet of

Lite Beer...

My daughter would love this one, she is a big fan of Marilyn Monroe. I loved it too, especially the rythm. Thanks.

I have to resist reading the last stanza first with your poems - and I'm glad I resisted here. Wonderful write, with the perfect twist at the end...
