A Guest Post: The Sequel

Ever a man of my words, here's an excerpt from my latest poem Television, which is being hosted on Jena Isle's Gewgaw Writings site.
Careless he falls into ritual pose
Do dropped, down before this mothering knot;
Her gathering brown limbs, machine-carved smooth
In hollow, molded arc, to cradle him;
If that first stanza has you seated on edge, be sure to visit Gewgaw Writings to read the full poem.

Thanks again Francis.

Television is quite the mess, not to mention frightening, as is the poem -- ina way.

The final stanza brought it all into focus, I thought.

@Jena Your very welcome :).

@Cooper I've actually unplugged my set. If there's a series I want to see, I get it from Netflix. And I'll congregate with friends to watch the big news/sports events.

@Dave I was worried the ending was a bit rushed, so I'm glad it worked for you.
