Flash Fiction 55 | Posted by Jannie on 7 October 2011 @ 5:55 AM
My enemy rides in a golf cart.
My enemy over-kisses her dog.
My enemy wears strange hats
and flounces around the streets
screaming sour nothings.
My enemy buys diamonds.
My enemy eats cake.
My enemy drives a car I don’t.
My enemy kneels to lay flowers
on his dead brother’s grave.
My enemy calls me to peace.
YESSSSS, I LOVE when a 55 writes itself in 55 seconds.

While you’re in a poetry mood
drink whiskey from a blue tin cup
and eat up the wagon trail stars.
Let the distant coyotes
of traffic and tax collectors
fade into a song of leaves.
Let your poems leap the tall campfires
you’ve been stoking since you were born.
Let fiddles dance on plates of beans.
Soon enough your toaster will fly
out the window, your tv out the door
and summer out a hole in your sock.
Soon enough a frost of telemarketers
will knock from inside your pantry door
asking where your retirement tea is.
So, let the world know you’re in a poetry mood
and you’re planning to resume the dishes and dust
after you’ve sailed a few more words on the wind.
Got poetry? Love poetry? dVerse is THE place!
