Big cats walking on the ceiling
I watch them uncomfortably from my iron chair
Slipping a book from my bookcase of regrets
Turning to chapter seven
Goldfish swimming on the wall
Reflecting waves on the pages
Making the words swirl nauseatingly
As I remember …
Dogs walking on stilts out in the yard
Remind me of where I am today
Sitting in my iron chair remembering how you fell
And not being there to catch you

I LOVE how you expressed this! Very cool and creative. Turning to chapter 7 in the book from the bookcase (not just one book) of regrets...goldfish swimming on the wall reflecting waves on the page...very good stuff!!
ReplyDeletewow I love the imagery! I agree with Robin, I like how you talk about picking the book up from the bookshelf and turning to, not the first page, but chapter 7. Interesting. Great poem, Pamela!
ReplyDeleteGreat work! I really enjoyed the images presented in the poem, it seemed like I was watching a scene from a film!

I got some great images from this. I can see the goldfish undulating in watery lines on the wall, reflecting off the book. And the dogs on stilts ... and not being able to catch someone ... wonderful!
ReplyDeleteDe nada Marinela!
