Modern poet

sorenbarrett

Scavenger of words

I pick among bones

dried skin of verbs

a carcass of past groans

 

Eating refuse that others refuse

Nature's trash picker's duty

Guts and bone sprinters reuse

stolen scraps of past beauty

 

From rotting meat there is worth

Recycling thoughts bled

Each creature a new birth

pieces of what was once dead

    Wow I'd say a perfect description. just to be in a day of yesterday for it's beauty and altered philosophy I'd truly love to be, although books are my time travel I very rarely read.

      Thanks Teddy I often wonder how long it has been since there was an original thought. When I think I have an original way to put things I find it was said hundreds if not thousands of years ago. I so appreciate your read and feedback Teddy.

              Even a poem translated becomes another one ‘birth a new creature’ though I think that’s the big trick to the magic of poetry-good write…
