May! May! Mayday! Sharing on the Tuesday Platform in the Imaginary Garden
Your first three lines read like a marriage between social media and what too much of society considers important, even essential. It's scary, almost as terrifying as winged greed infecting everything it touches.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness this is good!! Especially this 'Greed has wings to try trouncing even the most quiescent cloud-walkers amongst us.' Happy May, Marian ❤️

Nothing is going to put her down. She's beyond all the negative comments! A strong character!

Please pardon my concrete mind, Marian, as I read this, am thinking about liberty and freedom, as the theme messages of your poem. And, the impact of an oppressive ruling elite, willing to try to control them, and failing. May President Trump and his crones, meet such a fate.
ReplyDeleteFascinating ideas here. I like the language and action herein.
ReplyDeleteDo we ever reward anything but violence and greed?-- I better be a cloud walker....
ReplyDeleteThere is a pleasing sense of movement in this poem, especially in:
ReplyDelete'Greed has wings'
and
'But she will float on
beyond your berating
float on'
An inspiring ending...
ReplyDeleteLove the sharp point you make in just a few lines...
ReplyDeleteWonderful sash of ether to wisp the worries away. Thanks for the shot of Beltane.
ReplyDeleteFloat on! Yes.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't seem to be a very bubbly mood here, but sad and chilling.
ReplyDeletePeople, especially men, tend to get caught up in the crowd they run with. I just finished watching "______ femme" on ABC's Night Line TV program. It was about the fearful lives (of men) the women of Honduras are forced to live with. Some make it to the U.S. Border where they can be granted refugee status. But now by presidential order the number of refugees we can take has been halved. That mentality is spreading across South and Central America. Honduras has on female murdered every 16 hours. Closer to us, Juarez is horrible but I don't know its murder rate. Besides murder though are attacks on women, even wives by their husbands.
