Tumblings Poems | Examples


Elegy of the earth

I hid me some of the stones for they were mercurial 
     and fastidious-  not withstanding shadow or some 
   thus I felt, thus I didn't hersistate to do 
  thus I smothered, thus I bellied or meme or more or yes
  accept a gift  from me 
   thus the bed, thus did the limbs weakening and 
      pretending and wishing and wishing and wishing 
  through?. 
    I hid me the moon and tis sort of claims and tis sort of 
   repeatations and fumblings and tumblings and 
     resournances and flatterings and grosteque pictures 
  and nightmares. 
  I hid me the moon 
   lest trees drape them or otherwise sometimes water?.

Trucking

Like thunder scolds
 the big trucks roll
eighteen wheelers rumbling
 turning,  rounded tumblings
 static cling above the blacktop sounds;
each load heavy and unmarked
 catastrophic diesel sparks,
 rhythm pounds loud along the tarp, 
tractor trailers clapping along the ground
 from the midwest highways bound
 slipping thru the backroad byways,
juggernaut bartering the tolls on a skyway
  four wheelers piggyback tows 
  convoy escorts ever on the go;
beating down the macadam and concrete
  trucking down the inner streets
  transportation, what a feat.
