Conversation With A Weevil

Missing image

Cognitive intellect,
ancient teachings revealed.
Philosophize with the moon,
listen to the wind.
Collecting old thoughts
under willow branches.

You might find yourself
in debate about politics,
with a sparrow and a fox,
while the tigers prefer
classical literature.
A skunk orates on the
importance of pop culture.

Mathematics are found
under a toad stool;

whilst meditation of
science of the ages
has been passed through
wild grasses, coercing
with fallen leaves.


The running brook babbles
theology and a passing
sly fox discusses spirituality
and mystics of Zen.

You might be surprised
to find your artistic side
amid arachnids and roses,
while tulips and daffodils sing
sweet hymns.

And in the end you may
sit down for a cup of tea
with aardvarks and mallards,
just to shoot the breeze, as
you will discover they have
no taste for erudition.

    Love the flow of this, and the imagery is divine, I could read this poem all day. It is quite beautiful in the whole, and holds the fantasy like a feather in the wind. I could almost see the skunk discusing Emerson vrs Calvin on his tidy soapbox... This is a cute poem.

    This is absolutely stunning! I had to catch my breath in anticipation of reading it over and over again. How wonderfully clever of you to metaphorically pair together simplicity with academia. This is Free-verse at its very best, and you know I wouldn't lie. My Amera, I am smiling like a new mom. Perfection!

    Oh my! What a cool poem that you have going on here. I loved it! I think I'm even going to bookmark this one. I guess what really appealed to me on this was that it seemed like it was in motion through different parts of the forests and I found it interesting the way you attributed different features and interests to each them. I thought it was really clever.

    This is beautiful! I could picture all of these things. Most of them I have done, though there may have been slight variations. A fine piece of prose! Three ecstatic bunnies!!!
