Another Park Crucified

Another Park Crucified

Solar plexus choir whipped in an avian aura
up to my reverberating green crown;
 
my leafy locks shaking with worshipful delight.
 
Moon cakes and energy swirls left me swimming all the next day.
 
Tai chi tranquillity soothed my cosmic mind,
like warm milk and a blanket.
Achoo!  
 
The bees buzzed around my floral skirt.
  
New blossoms blushed my cheeks,
as lovers lounged on my roots.
 
Odin brought some pyrotechnic boom in a carriage of cloud;
left my courts agloss under a rainbow,
as wheels large and tiny etched art into the residue. 
 
My guests thawed out on shady lawn 
with novellas in their palms and crunchy snacks.
 
Basketballs amplified my heartbeat,
as ping pong laughter fluttered with the butterflies. 
     
Frightened marsupials hugged branches
eyes closed, while oblivious dancers
rehearsed Latino steps. 
 
Earth movers thundered and shook us to the bones.
Sat in silence praying in the stillness.
Is this the calm before the storm,
when all my guests are sold at auction
 
and I am left naked and bruised?   
 
Not my will but yours be done.

Hi AL!!.... Apologies brother....I feel like I owe that... you've left me a couple messages A while back that I wasn't able to reply properly too...and I haven't able to keep up with much of your recently... ok so I've got that off of my chest and I hope you can forgive my neglectfulness.....Just been EXTREMELY busy  and In prioritizing you got the short end!! ...SORRY my friend..... I'm glad I made it back in time to catch this VERY clever piece of Poetic prose... It DOES seem that we are losing parks and Land in general at ever-increasing speeds lately...... So cool of you to shine some light on it this way..... as I read I couldn't help wondering if the author was a small animal or 'leafy insect' of some kind because that would answer a few questions I have (smiles)... regardless, this is truly a most compelling write...... Well conceived and BEAUTIFULLY delivered!!.....smokin' grooves dear poet brother!!...... Love the formatting!!......ALL STARS!!.....LOVE & ROCKETS!!........T xo n : )

That's OK Tony, I understand. I have not been on Cosmofunnel much for the last few months myself--too many college assignments. 

PEACE HABIBI =)
