MIST LANGING ON TEMPERAMENT BARE

23 Friday Oct 2015

Posted by johnseekamp in Creative writing, Fiction, Observations, Poems, Writings

≈ Leave a comment

Tags

Mist, Nature, Temperament, Wtitings that force you to think

There the mist that mornin’ helt

Taken ‘way by mid-day’s swelt

Bowed and crouched and waited knelt,

Upon the blued and crisped dry air

Hidin’ without devotion there

Poised to shroud in dawn light’s care,

Upon the night and darkness quelt

Waitin’ and hidin’ on restlessness felt

There certain of future’s fare;

Certain of nature’s temperament bare.

by John Patrick Seekamp  2013

AND THE SHALLOW SORT AGREE

22 Thursday Oct 2015

Dolts, Mindless, Mindlessness, Shallow sorts

The shallow sort is never far

from all that they can see,

they wallow in their lack of thoughts

in a state of muted glee,

And when they’re forced to use their mind

it’s then they’re forced to face their kind;

and that, you see, they never mind,

For that’s a solace they’d always find….

it’s nothing to he or she,

And the shallow sort agree.
