Ultimate flight

Ultimate flight

A Poem by Rossen


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**

Rosen you are fast becoming one of my favorite reads. Your creativity is crafted so well in smart tones and imagery. My favorite line:

"Plundering themes from leftover dream
Stimulus streams of sweet musings"

A poet's vision true and through!

Great Write!

Rossen what a poem you have written .. intelligent thoughts so well expressed.
A touch of rhyme a dash of thyme -time.. which is not - everything and everything is not in/on time.
I love it to pieces.

To be honest, I happened to read this poem because I thought it said "Ultimate Fight", but I found the poem to be very good and ecstatic. I love random happenings. They... just... happen.

I-n-t-e-r-e-s-t-i-n-g! Superlative work. hehe. I love the word plays in this...the beat and flow...fantastic...and the "timing" is well, now.

"Swimming forever in habitual thought
Buoyant beginnings... fruit that rots" Yes, yes, yes! Knowledge, electric, genius, movement and wisdom. This is Poetry v.s. Science and at this time it's a TKO...the words win! *ding, ding*
