Cancelled

Clipped wings

 

Cancelled

 

Heart upon a runway, cluttered tarmacs

wings of silver and broken promises

luggage is lost in sadder dreams

waiting beyond my imagination

ID shows some smiling man

tears don’t match the face

detained and searched

rushed gates scream

like cattle pushed

offered peanuts

as I miss the

last flight

to your

love

nicely formatted to match the sadness...like a plane nosediving...shaped like a wing...

and the speaker is diving down into the bottom of a cone where there is nowhere to go...sort of like plath and sexton did...

Ack Jack. Im sorry you have had your wings clipped (hopefully very temporarily) . I love the way the image's Cancelled list blends into the poems title - very creative work.

Thanks so much my friend. Actually I hadn't noticed that until you just mentioned it, but I'll happily take credit for it. :) Thanks again for reading and leaving such kind words for me.

Forget about that 'just' Jack charade, change it to genius Jack! How cool is this?! Kick a*s form here my friend.....and the context is just as amazing too.

I posted it at 2:00pm EST if that means anything. Thanks so much my amazing friend. Still Just Jack, but I think every once in a while a little of you rubs off on me. :)
