“A Fool and His Cottage”
https://cafephilos.blog/2019/06/05/a-fool-and-his-cottage/
Excerpt:
I sit on my patio,
Watch the man tug the leash,
The dog tug the man,
Both of them passing by
Faster than birdsong
Can shove a cloud
Across the sky.

A beautifully wondrous poem Paul, lots of glorious imagery and I especially adored this stanza.

I loved the rhythm of your poem, and my fav’ track was, Sympathy For The Devil, the lyrics were amazing.
” I stuck around St. Petersberg
When I saw it was a time for a change
I killed the Czar and his ministers
Anastasia screamed in vain
I rode a tank
Held a general’s rank
When the Blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
What’s puzzling you is the nature of my game, oh yeah “

I’ve waited my entire life for the apocalypse. Weapons by the hundreds stashed inside my walls, a bunker with enough supplies for years. I thirsted for it. When the dead crawled out of sewers, mangling everyone in sight, I was reading a magazine on my throne. A peculiar scratch came at my door before they burst in. They took me down, my pants at my ankles. It wasn’t supposed to be like that. I couldn’t have been more prepared for the end of the world. Teeth sank in, blinding pain, I lost.
