Tumbling ideas fall out of an acorn,
its fruit impelling the soft city ground. Leaving it’s own mark,
quiet records for the members of our future. Or maybe only a distant call... “remember me.”
The soil comforts lost souls, dug at least half way
three feet under.
Lubricants, saliva of a thirsty thunder god, kiss green shoots to exist.
Wait...
a few hundred years. Hands wear from rock picking, writing, and caressing the moons
voluptuous waist. A figure commands the shadows to fall. More bold than barbed wire fences.
Thick bark, a poet, falling witness to ever light eyes.

mmmm, so true!
to be honest, my list of favorites used to be around 48. i read maybe 3- 4 of them on a regular basis.
within the last two months of contests on ap, i now have 96 and i love them so much that i can't begin to even choose who to read first! -
-
Haha, yes what a delima!
Before I add someone to my favorites I always
ask myself if I'll really read their stuff often
or just reconize that they've written.
Trully it must be hard to keep
up with that many poets!!

Truly well done. Your images are thick but still full bodied and easy to decipher. Very nicely done.

lovely, as usual. You've got quite a few typos, though. You want "its" in line 2. Confusing, I know, but the apostrophe in "it's" takes the place of the letter 'i', (so it means "it is") rather than showing possession like it does in most cases. In line 3 I think you mean "quiet" not "quite". Also in line 8 I think you want "moon's". just a few typos, nothing big. Lovely lovely poem. Keep writing!

Thanks for catching those!
Gosh, I do the "quiet" and "quite" thing waaay to often.
And to think...I want to teach English. Hah.
Thanks again for being very helpful!
