DreamscapesA Poem by Austin Skye ElsborgThis poem was written after staring intently at my friend’s book mark for the bookmark. She had colored it in with shades of blue, then purple and green, yellow then red and it seamed an African dreamPeaceful trees, covered in swarming bees Dot the coast of a rugged land. Every spot on a leopard's coat Gets reflected in the words I wrote. Padded paws pleasantly plod Through the countryside. Bounding through beaches of yellow sand, Blaring trumpets from every band. Herds of elephants marching across my page Of journal entries lost in grasses so high. Frightened by yips of hyena sentries Guarding the thoughts poured into this ink. Tickling birds crowding the sky Singing so loud, barely able to fly. Crocodiles sink back into drying mud, Swimming towards the forsaken, stuck in crud Of filler words Cramming into my mind. A rugged land filled With creatures of every kind. Lost among the peaceful trees, Drowned in the sound of buzzing bees. © 2012 Austin Skye ElsborgAuthor's Note
