Only Sound That's Left by ~Magicality:iconMagicality:



Ken Kesey’s old bus,
engine bobbin’; soft coda.

Dissonant Chuck Taylors;
resonant pulse of Echoes.

Ghostly reflection,
jaunty fog – neurotic haze.

Undulating bottle,
scurvy salacious harmony.

Holy ganja deceives;
Harmonica’s false note,
doors shudder; missed my stop.

I'm not sure if it all makes sense to me, but I still enjoyed reading it. It provoked me into re-reading it a few times, which is something usually hard to do. ^^;
I like the formatting of it, and the whole 5-7 stanza deal...I might try that out sometime.

~Morality is a figment of humanity's imagination. The universe is despicably moralless.
~We must burden ourselves with peace and love.. and other bull***t.
:iconantonina:
o_o; I tried. No go. My poetry sense is way too old-fashioned.

Nice imagery, though.
:iconzovi:
Very nice :)

Hooray for undulating bottles. The imagery is...interesting.
I like the structure.

hehe thanks for commenting. In case you are interested in the structure it's a waka. I forgot to classify it as eastern.

Search wikipedia for it. :D I found it quite fascinating.
