So curious and circumspect
while christening memories
If you’re in the driver’s seat of confusion
like a crimp in the line
Examining your cuticles for prosperity
Passing on the left of
a crammed cucumber camp
Further up the road is the Chalet of Chagrin
where you may rest for a day
dining with classless folk who eat
crabcakes with their fingers
bibs fastened securely about their waists
Cringing from the scene
All comes forward into clarity
process notes:
I wrote a list of "c" words,
the result was this poem.

Hhhmmm....Challenges always bring out the unexpected, the rare find, the lovely twist.
ReplyDeleteI really really enjoyed your approach and take off here, Pamela.
Clever, crisp and comes forward into clarity!
Love the way this flowed, and a great message.
ReplyDeleteThe idea driving this is brilliant. Impressive.
ReplyDeleteInteresting piece to come simply from a list of c words.... like the direction it followed, the path of its own.
ReplyDeleteRJ, I am not sure where that came from:)
ReplyDeletenino I know this is a bit ridiculous, but it was an interesting exercise.
