Poem -
A Full + Bellied Earth
Perchance, a jester pranks within
This full and bellied earth
Eyes lit up with mishcief, doing
wrong deeds and...with mirth,
Perchance he lights volcanos
deep in bowels, where he sleeps
Maybe... digs up landslides
To tip earth's people and its
sheep
And maybe, on occasion, he
climbs up and out to here
Making dead the walking as they
gaze about in fear
Smiling as he throws around
Attacks on hearts and minds
To harvest them in coffins
In that place no light can find

" perchance" Oh, I LOVE, this word!!
There IS a jester... he is known by many names...Pan and Loki are the two that immediately spring to mind. Mischievous dealings that turn sinister.
This is a fabulous poem. Creative and yet real life raw. I LOVE your work ❤ xx

Wow!! MARION!!.....it's very interesting to me that we both posted poems on such similar subject matter.....even used several similar words......something in the water around here?.......regardless, an excellent write.....evoking questions that run the gambit on the dark side of life, its potential, it's inability to be one or the other!!...it's ability to toy with us all!!.......ALL STARS!! & PINNED!!....ever the pleasure dear poet sister!!.....LOVE & ROCKETS!!.....T xo : )
Did we? 'Toy with us'...exactly. Tony...you write in a class of your own my friend so any similarities would go missed I think in the difference of style. I think these days I write of little except the mysteries of life and death...it is truly all that fills my mind. Thankyou as ever for your wonderful comment x
