Gnome’s Utterance

I wanted to write kind of a humorous and sarcastic poem about a gnome who either gets his house invaded or him setting off on an adventure, whichever way you interpret it works.

Moving like cancer across the ocean floor

Reminding me of naught

Tracing along the lines of an eagle shore

Remembering all who fought

Down, down, down we go

To the stream where lilacs flow

Through, two, three and be

Until the center encompasses me

Looking into the distance as we wave

Reflecting on the summer

Taking shapes so eagerly shaved

Tilling as we slumber

Round, round, round we go

We must stop to enjoy the show

Beat, beat, beat the clock

Another race around the block

Doing the romantic dance of embers grace

Reminding of cycles rain

Prancing the gnome’s crazy dance

Shaving what needs to be slain
