August 2019 Collage Poem - 'Washed Out to Sea'

entry picture

Hypnotic Methodist Tingling

A sea of souls awaiting slaughter for freedom

 

Mermaid, just say no

 

On a darksome day we skipped to death

Marked by a felt-tipped pen

 

There is sadness, but not without hope

 

Samuel Bamford is protesting

In Hong Kong

Filming on his smart phone, filming,

Sharing, filming, sharing. Hoping it

Won’t be edited out, won’t be his last call

 

No connection e-mail sent

Lost at sea

Cut to the bone – poetry

 

The water

Poignant weeps for its fullest form

On the day of discovery of father’s secret wife

 

Do mermaids like cake?

Or do they like playing jazz music

With a heavy metal guitarist?

 

You can set it out to sea but it won’t go away

 

Men like matchsticks burn easily

Swan Vesta announce their new slogan!

 

Weep for dead children

Across the globe, across the centuries

Many different voices merge into one

Poignant echo.
