An emoji ‘free verse’
In a moment,
๐งโโ๏ธ it would be
over again and he'd
๐งโโ๏ธ have to start over in the next... no, not this time.
Grunting, ๐ค hand over hand, he scaled the
๐งโโ๏ธ uneven face of ๐ค the dream cliff,
fingers ๐ค aching with the weight of his body
๐งโโ๏ธ as the first rays ๐ of sunlight...
oh no โ no...
no... ...
... ๐๏ธ

Far below the water's surface
he swam effortlessly, breathing
through the dream gills on
the sides of his neck...
๐ฎโ๐จ here we
go again...
kicking ๐ฆต with
his powerful ๐ฆต legs,
frog style, ๐ฆต he propelled
himself towards ๐ฆต the
mouth of ๐ฆต the cave
ahead. Maybe... ๐ฆต
this time ๐ฆต ...
There!
Wait...
What was
that ๐ณ๏ธ dark...
no... please!
not... ๐ณ๏ธ

the ๐ฆถ ๐ enormous ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
๐ ๐ bookstacks, ๐ ๐๏ธ๐๏ธ looking

๐ finally! he saw it lying ๐๏ธ behind
some ๐ ๐ bookstacks; ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
๐ quickly - before this new dream
ended, he made a grab ๐ค for the
๐ Pen โ๏ธ of Poetry... ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
๐ he'd done it! โ๏ธ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐
๐ ๐ ๐ finally... โ๏ธ his poems โ
๐ ๐ ๐ would truly be his own! ๐

The emjois are in free fall, running the show
It’s a new 21st century version of poetry ๐
Just so there are words because I don’t speak the lingo properly yet and I spelt it incorrectly
I stopped to look in on a few of your pieces. I also read the Wikipedia page about your dad. Awesome.
Thanks for visiting, Brian ๐

Reblogged this on Love and Love Alone.
This poem is fantastic. The imagery of the poet seeing him/her self as “swimming” through metaphor, nicely done, David. Creativity is freedom!
Thank you so very much for understanding and appreciating, Suzette ๐
Always a pleasure, David๐๐

I reckon all the emoji’s = ‘shit’
I know I know you’ll leave it up to me….
๐ฉ
I looked ’em up in the dictionary…I’m right
*laughing*
What a pictorial poem! Loved it.
It was just something that came to me randomly – a way of writing poetry in the modern day that would have been impossible not too long ago ๐
Yes, your experimentation is laudable.

I loved the imagery and the ending put everything into perspective! Creative write!
