It was entry into
a new world
Half way up the stairs
she stopped
only to ask
if the roses
on the bed
were mother's.
The breeze
out side
the window
tossed his
hair around.
In the
backyard
Jennie's kitten
was hiding from
some daft
barking mutt.
Behind an empty
trashcan.
Daft kitten.
50Hz a.c. lightbulbs
were never audible
before today
but he
could count
the Hertz. Every
damn one of them.
The doorhandle
screetched through
worn out
mechanics
as Mandy
shouldered
the door.
Stale dusty
upholstery
tickled his
nasal hair before
a sudden
involuntary sneeze
wracked his body.
That can't have
been sugar
in those sachets
he'd picked up.
Birdwing flutter
sounds outside
suddenly
distracted him.
The mirror
caught Mandy
undressing.
He was suddenly
aroused.
Sugar or not
today was going
to be interesting.

As we arise each day and explore our lives
Age shows us that another day in our lives is good
And in our long lives we realise
Every day is interesting.

Another set of music and musicians for me to explore d a. Thank you.
There's a drug involved in this one.
Enjoyed listening to the music but enjoyed your poem even more. An original and highly engaging work - a top notch write.
Verbal pictures maybe, leads a reader to their own artwork I hope, I just frame it.
Should I try some of that 'sugar'? And should I meet this gal? Or would it be too much for me? lol.
Worry more for fidos future, the cat is not forgiving.
A tale to take the imagination to heights of wanting a sequel - - - a compelling read of happenings that only your pen knows how to describe.D..A.
Like i replied to M.E. I lead a reader to create their own picture, i just provide the frame here. Or maybe a view.
great example of structure complimenting delivery,
cascading glimpses at a stream of consciousness: revealing and witty,
brilliant write
A method I've dabbled with as the inspiration falls to me but i wonder how many pick up the clues. This one is about drugs.
Seriously ... this is seriously good .. and even then some .. no kiddin ..
... an interesting day just got .... x
Always appreciate your comments Neville. It takes a certain train of thought for a reader to work out stuff like this and i have no doubt you see it without challenge. Occasionally i get the train of thought to write it which can be a challenge for me.
