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**

I am glad you are here Lydia,

Rossen

There is such a lifting feel and flow that sings with an electricity.. dances us in thoughts and notions.. muses us with all things vibrant and alive.. Powerful glimpses back to Benjamin's key and glances ahead to the future's everything.

[Emily B]

this is absolutely wonderfully written, so fluid, I almost floated

[Siddhartha]

you take human thought to a higher plane...love the astonishing associations here and the upbeat tone...brilliant...

[M.Babu]

This was great! I loved the structure of it firstly (shaped like some sort of staircase to me). My favorite line was by far:
'* Electrical fluid at last! *
"Water spouts and Whirlwinds."
perpetually floating bye'

Like MuSe i really enjoyed the word play...very creative if you ask me:
Electrical fluid...visual linguist...this is truly poetic. and i enjoyed reading this. *APPLAUSE*

[just rose.]

Timing(everything)........... time is not

is my favorite line in this - worlds to ponder in those words.

"Plundering themes from leftover dreams" and a paper kite...and the photo you added. somehow this entire thing gave me the feeling of a spiral flight...
