Hickory Sticks Poem by Elliott Rosenberg

Hickory Sticks

Rating: 4.7


A spiritual entrainment levees,
spawning entropic cascades in its wake,
a logarithmic landscape ossifies,
effulgent among its tutelary scarps.

As winter settles in,
an enamel carafe fills,
with analgesic dreams,
tippled memories,
eclipsed thoughts and
an insolent stubbornness that awakens.

Oh how I yearn for Yule,
For those stream colors that defy reality.
Oh how I thirst indifference,
dexterous youth that abnegates responsibility.

Today I exist strewn amid a supple hill,
a prim chorister bellows my name,
a melodic velum unfurls down Main Street,
to herald a new generation of homesteaders.

Now that our fallow lives diffuse,
one grapples onto the waft dandelions of spring.
Harbingers of silent prayer,
floral brood of jovial eternity.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I am in Hickory, North Carolina.Walked into the taproom to sober on a stool. I am imbibed with nostalgia. The pleasant odor of suds lilting off the mahogany floor sedate me.Wherever one turns a blurry vision stakes of comunal solidarity.
And so I dedicate this poem December 5th,2019 to Apalaches pilgrims whose memories live on.

Now that our fallow lives diffuse, one grapples onto the waft dandelions of spring. Harbingers of silent prayer, floral brood of jovial eternity. /// beautiful and natural poetic expression on the solemn environment of winter and its effect on the spiritual soul....//
