Tumbling (a poem)

Inspired by Tumblr feeds.

The image repeats
up and down the screen
a scrolling scene
change in the form of repetition
for tired eyes to notice

A collage of rope and flowers
marks burned into parchment
flashbacks from the dream
rendered in layers
impermanence translated as beauty

Pools of honey
have drowned the bees
spiders rush indoors
to escape the autumn chill
Extra blankets remind me how good it feels to be warm

    Amazing. I must admit, i was curious by what it was inspired from. I absolutely love how this wasn’t some clichè Tumblr poem.
