Four Glass Planet Guide

Just a glance out my window, the smudges led to a thought pattern, I think it's reasonably light as well and I like that :)

Handprints on windows

From pushing cardboard CD cases in the gaps

To soften the rattling

Of storm clad vibrations

 

Broken tile leaking

Facing all the wrath of seasons

It doesn’t know about

But steady firm, it holds

 

Aerials seeking out a reaction

Wave filled they become

Standing proud with a stiff back

Overlooking their conquest

 

Cracked plate on blue carpet

Fallen bottle took its life

Wrapped steady in paper towel

No use now, so thrown to death

 

Chipped cup looks on with a rye smile

Of glee in its shine

For it’s still considered useful

And warmth seeps from its edge

oh that naughty little cup! taking pleasure from the misery of other household items! lol. I liked this alot - of course, I do believe that all the inanimate objects in my home wander about - which is why I can never find anything when I need it, despite the fact that I saw it only 5 mins. ago. What can I say? they like to watch me go nuts hahahaha.

This poem was light but i still read it several times. Why did it keep drawing me in?
Nice.

A clever poem - let the inanimate objects live on in infamy...or at least in your space. Thank you. A true delight.
Light,

Very interesting poem. Excellent descriptions and imagery. It kept me focused on what you were trying to say yet I was creating my own picture of what you were saying in your writing to me as the reader who was taking the journey. Very good. I like your poem.
