An emoji ‘free verse’
In a moment,
🧗♂️ it would be
over again and he'd
🧗♂️ have to start over in the next... no, not this time.
Grunting, 🤏 hand over hand, he scaled the
🧗♂️ uneven face of 🤏 the dream cliff,
fingers 🤏 aching with the weight of his body
🧗♂️ as the first rays 🌄 of sunlight...
oh no ✋ no...
no... ...
... 🖐️
🤸♂️
🤸♂️
🤸♂️💦
🌊🌊🏊♂️🌊🌊
Far below the water's surface
he swam effortlessly, breathing
through the dream gills on
the sides of his neck...
😮💨 here we
go again...
kicking 🦵 with
his powerful 🦵 legs,
frog style, 🦵 he propelled
himself towards 🦵 the
mouth of 🦵 the cave
ahead. Maybe... 🦵
this time 🦵 ...
There!
Wait...
What was
that 🕳️ dark...
no... please!
not... 🕳️
🤸♂️
🕳️

📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 🦶 📚 📚 📚 📚
📚 barefoot 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚
📚 and 📚 tiptoed over 🦶 📚 📚 📚
the 🦶 📚 enormous 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚
📚 📚 bookstacks, 📚 👁️👁️ looking
carefully for 📚 the... 📚 🦶 📚 📚 📚
wait... 📚 was that it? 📚 📚 📚 yes!
📚 finally! he saw it lying 🖋️ behind
some 📚 📚 bookstacks; 📚 📚 📚 📚
📚 quickly - before this new dream
ended, he made a grab 🤜 for the
📚 Pen ✒️ of Poetry... 📚 📚 📚 📚
📚 he'd done it! ✒️ 📚 📚 📚 📚 📚
📚 📚 📚 finally... ✒️ his poems ✍
📚 📚 📚 would truly be his own! 📓

The emjois are in free fall, running the show
It’s a new 21st century version of poetry 🙂
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 🙂

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 😊
Always a pleasure, David😊👍

I reckon all the emoji’s = ‘shit’
I know I know you’ll leave it up to me….

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 🙂
Yes, your experimentation is laudable.
🙏
I loved the imagery and the ending put everything into perspective! Creative write!
