Strike
The phobia of a copperhead strike
is made real by the lunge of a
lawnmower into the brush to shred
the coiling orange and brown with
a screaming whump only to realize
that it was an eastern box turtle
I had set upon.
Once again what I am afraid of
has led me to destroy what I love
and I weep, wondering if I will ever
become one whose perceived fears
are not acted on.
I did not look to see if the
slowmover was dead
but I knew. I could see the
bloody pieces of her
shell scattered across
the lawn.September 3, 1996

Last #Poem of the day.
This one was written about #JimDodge and how much his #Poetry means to me.
It is a #ProsePoem and I did a second draft two years after writing the original (been working on it for about an hour).
This link leads to my #Blog hosted by #Blogger.

CW: Food Pies Poem
#ProjectGutenberg have many interesting #books. Besides the classics, there are a vast number that offer a window into #Culture, #Values, #Beliefs, & #ideologies. One recent addition is, 12 #Pies #Husbands Like Best ~ Aunt Jenny's Recipe Book. The #Title alone reveals #TargetAudience and #GenderRoles. I thought I would have some fun with these #recipes, and turn them into #Dadaist #Poetry. Here is Dadaist #Recipe #Pie #Poem 1. #Dada #Dadaism #ProsePoem #CollagePoem #Absurdist
