Ultimate flight

Visual Linguist, purging translations

Swimming forever in habitual thought
 Buoyant beginnings...  fruit that rots

  Wrangling two handfuls of words
Timing(everything)........... time is not

Plundering themes from leftover dreams
   Stimulus streams of sweet musings

   Leaving good things for tomorrow

     Ultimate flight on this paper kite

                      

           Benjamins key is flashing

     
            * Electrical fluid at last! *

      "Water spouts and Whirlwinds."

                                                 perpetually floating bye

 

Author's Note

Vintage illustration from Benjamin Franklin's paper on "Water-spouts and Whirlwinds"
When electric fluid~ { That's what they called electricity back then,}

replaced oil lamps and such, the oil people needed a different avenue~

You are indeed a "visual linguist"! There is no doubt in my mind words are buoyant in your imagination and they never remain beyond their expiration date, Rossen. Words float through your mind just as a paper kite floats through the air....and just as Franklin brought us electricity through flying a kite, your words bring a crackling of energy and power to the page. Great analogy used and splendid imagery. Always unique...which is the reason your words are a pleasure to read. Your photographicartwork is wonderful too! Lydi**

Ben Franklin was a pioneer... setting us for great things to come, still....

Well penned! xx :)

this is most creative, and as PJ said, Thank God for Author's notes, as I was baffled too, without the crib notes! Very clever work indeed!

I like that this is something completely different and to be honest glad I had the notes of the author..as I didn't have the foggiest idea what this was about..but reading with knowledge is wonderful..makes perfect sense...don't like poems explained usually but this helped!!! well done

[Sel Whiteley]

This is a fascinating poem. I love poetry that makes history come alive, particularly when the history still has poignancy today.
Your words are electric in their immediacy. Your use of classical form fits with the antiquated theme. LOved everything in the poem.

[The Rock And Roll Cowbo..]

A very intriguing piece, great play on word... I think we only need to use natural sources to make this world go round.

oo I like how you play with the words - twist up the speed and rhythm - sometimes a rhyme - others not - great choice of words - I love - "plundering themes from leftover dreams" - nice!
