The Unsunken

Unforgotten

By Emomoemi Johnson NewcourtPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

I was just three

The last frills of snowing thoughts

Were budding across a

Banquet of woodworms

The fumes of a paralytic cigar

Ogled by a pair of irascible eyes

Stunned my olfactory empire

I was three

They were a bloated gloat

Before the death-train arrived

It was gun-powder music the blood-sucking

Throng danced to

These matadors from a primeval outback

I was only three

The trees never burned out in the raging wildfire

And the croc-crested creek

Never ceased its symphonic conundrum

surreal poetry

    Big brother of poetic realms, where wonders ignite, Embracing thoughts that traverse day and night. Amidst snowing frills and woodworms' banquet grand, Your verse unveils emotions like shifting sand. In this symphonic conundrum, I doff and stand, Mesmerized words, crafted by your hand.
