The dance of flies

cobwebs
weave on beats of
fighting flies stirring storms
inside baby's eyes keep born worlds
warmly

    Outstanding

    This is not an easy form to write and this is an interesting and very abstract poem. I like the way you use language in such an unexpected way creating unusual nuances. An inspirational poem.

      Hi ~Bear,
      Yeah, this was a difficult one. After your comments I edit it, I hope it isn't against the rules. I replace the word "into" by "inside" and "inside" by "warm". The poem was not ment to show death eyes of baby....No way...not my intention....its more by new-borns are whole universes visible in their eyes. No framed thought patrones yet.
      Ans the flies? I got inspiration by flies in my room, leaving me pondering. My intention isn't a dark poem, neither a horror-like one. Sorry Bear..I hope it isn't too confusing. Sometimes I even understand my own poems anymore
      May God also bless you!
