Space and Time

The cursor is blinking
the night it is sinking
my slippers on the floor
my poster on the door
a friend is in trouble
burst is her bubble
an acoustic guitar is strummed
a sad song it is hummed
its an intriguing age
its an empty page
there's some work to do
still i think of you
the government's going to change
the phone is out of range
i like to see smoke in the air
i like to sit on a rocking chair
refreshing scent of a new book
refreshing air in every nook
nuclear warheads rust in peace
the curtains blow with the breeze
some men fight for their rights
some men just want to fly kites
a dog barks on the street
an army orders retreat
a pile of clothes on the bed
a face thats blushing red
the joker cracks his jokes
in the rain the city soaks
a small boy chased his dream
a rookie took one for the team
a drive in the dark
a walk in the park
cupboard full of cloth
beer mug full of froth
books on the table
horse in the stable
earthquake hits a town
old buildings torn down
the table cloth is stained
the madman is chained
air hostess bring me my tea
cargo ship stranded at sea
fruits and flowers
future world powers
a man of wealth and taste
a new kind of tooth paste
a bar graph
a funny laugh
passion and grace
a car chase
rhythm and rhyme
wasting time
a stolen purse
meaningless verse
all connected right now
but I don't know how

    That sounds like something I'd write! :O It needs some editing though. :) But its interesting. The rhythm breaks in places but it usually tends to stay stable. I approve. :P

  3. I thought if you took to more laconic sentences you'd stretch the poem more. you tend to drift to the meaningless like you used to, but a nice assortment of imagery.
