Rubbing Hands Together With Purpose Unknown

by David Maurice

Going into
a poem without
a subject
leaves;

A falling hush
carpet thoughts
flickering through
red and maple
dreams;

A hush falling
through flickerings

Yet sometimes the bear finds the woods
and sometimes the keys find the feel
and sometimes the keel keeps the course
and sometimes the feel leaves it coarse

Author's Note: stretch.

One rubs sticks together to make a fire. Rubbing hands together maybe for warmth. Rubbing brain cells together to come up with a poem. Sometimes it happens!

Love the clever alliteration in that last stanza. The whole thing pretty good.

Heh. Definitely a stretch, but not a topple. :)

I particularly love the first three stanzas. Really great poem!
