Entrenched

R.A.D. Stainforth digs in...the poppies are a timely touch...



Find me, considering 
specks of dust in the sunlight,
dug in, making daisy chains

with innocent passersby,
placing thought-bombs
in the minefield of my notebook.

After a long, sexy pause,
wave a red flag to my white one,
point your digital turret-tufts,

set your sights radiant,
take me hostage,
ramble me with

a midnight mushroom.

    Brilliant, but I suspect, not so innocent!

  8. "Thought bombs" No less powerful or destructive than sharapnel or mushroom clouds.

  9. This is so unexpected and full of modern day personal wars. Made me think and blink as a different take unfolds after a second and third reading, Tess!

  13. Shrooms would be an interesting prison through which to view a battlefield, i rhink it was tried in Vietnam. Alternatively, the last time a shroom was seen in a war, it was very bad , but i thought your words are an interrsting omelette!

  21. Brilliantly sketched in: a flick of the pen from daisy chains to thought bombs and mine fields. Strokes full of life catching at the thought of death. Me like!
