Smokey senses

Smokey senses

A Poem by Shannon

Bubbles in the smoke
Drifting glistening
Listening as she spoke

But does it hear?

Ashes in the nest
Broken, empty eggs
blood on the ravens chest

But does it see?

Spiderweb wings
Beating at dead air
A Butterfly sings

But does it make a sound?

Purple vines
Reaching towards her
With poisonous wines

But does it move?

A snow white rat
Sits and listens
To what others do not hear
Sits and see's
What others fear
Sits and Twitters
What others do not comprehend
And scurries away
While others sit and senselessly pretend

Fantastic write. It is tough to be the white rat sometimes.
