Directions For Destiny's Heartland

Directions For Destiny's Heartland

A Poem by Allen Smuckler
"

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...

Nice! I love Marilyn... and this is a fresh take of an escape to the Heartland.

"Destiny's heartland
in the middle of
nowhere...
condoms and fish gear
on a diet of
Lite beer..."~Nicely done!
