Blue Ball corner Pocket

O plant Earth

 

Blue Ball, Corner Pocket

 

Five thousand years has come and gone

Darkest of age with constant repeat

Lessons lost and drastically wrong

Sinful actions, no surrender, no defeat

I pick the side pocket for blue to drop

The ball will roll and spin on its back

Sinking a ball is like spinning a top

Oh, how I hope I do not have to rack

Do it all again, from the very first spot

Blue ball has much to learn as it passes by

Tempers still flaring and raging hot

Soon, very soon, it will be my turn cry.

Like your style.

Earth has pretty much gone to hell and we're all paying for it by suffering Gaia's wrath. Great poem at first I thought the title said something else lol

[Wildfleour]

Those darn blue balls! (LOL)

Actually, seriously, the metaphor of playing pool is terrific.

I'm not sure of your last line..........

I love this poem. It's got a good message. It flows well and is written beautifully. Although, i did find the font a little difficult to read, but that could just be me. Well done.
