the blue sky above
holds the biggest secret
not counting the science

pasta on a plate
engulfed in tomato sauce
heightens the sweet taste

The warrior's yelling ignited liberating goal oriented minds
Stirring past animosity nightly
Zealots braved ****** festivals, jaded rulers harrowing experiences
Omitting defeat coalesce knowledgeable volunteers
I was given a twenty-five letter prompt and had to attempt to poetically stitch them together to make sense... hope you enjoy
Prompt: twyilgomspanzbvfjrheodckv

Israel, land of history
Why are you a country so torn
Thoughts of hatred wash over me
Land near where the gift of love was born
You've been fraught with so much peril
For thousands and thousands of years
Your lack of trust is palpable
Through the bloodshed and dying tears
If you can only imagine
The love of a country so vast
Weapon of choice a tennis ball
Instead of a machine gun blast

Sun high in the sky
Start of my day enfolds
Just in time, and on the fly
Without being told
I gather my books
Into my bag, my cargo hold
Disregarding sartorial looks
My flip flops, my shorts, my tank
I go out the door
With no one but myself to thank

The sky suddenly darkens
The temperature drops
A horn in the distance beckons
As I say goodbye to my flip flops
I'm now moving through the street
Didn't quite expect mother nature
To literally sweep me off my feet

I don't know what is wrong with me
I've not been so afraid
I live my life, the way I see
My species not betrayed
Chasing cars and mailmen
Even, the occasional salesman
Chasing cars and
Chasing cars and
People, the way of life for me

I don't know what is wrong with me
Noticing my gate part
Now looking left and right I see
What jump started my heart
Twenty-four mean eyes did appear
Playing with my senses, they sneered
Twenty-four mean
Twenty-four mean
Made me manic enough to flee

I don't know what is wrong with me
I think at least I'm safe
Higher up, in this big tall tree
My own actions now chafe
As I sit on this would be log
Oh, disbelief, I'm a huge dog
My own actions
My own actions
With twelve felines circling me

I don't know what is wrong with me
I've never been so afraid
I live my life, the way I see
But look at the fear, these twelve have made
In my yard is where it started
I was so happy
When all of a sudden my gate parted
Twenty-four narrowing eyes did I see
Somewhere in my senses stirred
Uneasiness and dread
Beyond all normalcy, this is so absurd
A light bulb lights my head

One quick leap and up I fled
I think at least I'm safe
My heart slows down
So I can face
The commotion down beneath
As I sit on this would be log
A thought occurs to me
I am a big huge dog
And not where I'm supposed to be
High above, up in a tree
With twelve felines circling me
