Chocolate









under the cartoon sky
another entertainment.

I was put here
to remind them of the depths of the hole,
it should be simple, all these contrived confections
winding affectations, but it‘s not. These swindles
landing here at the edge of this shallow hole
underneath that cartoon sky,
the children looking on.

that’s all I know
the grinding gears go round
we go by, our poles reaching out
and we are                    pulled in
one by one.

    Damn those candy colored clouds,
    you get close and POW it was just a sunset
    they were storm clouds after all.


    Taking the rosey tints off!

    I do love chocolate and yes I am even addicted to it.....lol
    I must also say it gives me ideas that I really shouldn't have or so I am told but that's another story for another time.


    Great Write!

    Complex, at first, but at the same time, so simple - human nature

    "and we are, pulled in
    one by one.

    Another superb and thought provoking piece.

    Your titles actually mean things - I'm always so tired by the time I get to the titles... I just pick a line or something, it's like picking a birthday present and then wrapping it in newspaper - it's pathetic, but it doesn't even matter. But yes, "Chocolate" - all these things are addictive enough, cartoons and simplicity. Everything fits.

    The movement of the poem and some of the word selection seemed quite sexual "grinding"... and then "the edge of this shallow hole"...that said innocence
    I don't know

    I don't really need to know.

    Bloody wonderful.

    How could anyone know nature.

    I adore this... I must admit, the title threw me, but i think it works :-)

    I especially love these lines;

    "that’s all I know
    the grinding gears go round
    we go by, our poles reaching out
    and we are pulled in
    one by one. "

    Always impressed by your work, this is wonderful.
