    no bugs

     <>




    it is early spring and there are no bugs yet
    lying in my hammock, writing, whirling
    as my fingers grip my pen
    i realize that this is my weapon against insignificance
                  and anonymity
    why whisper in the wind
    when you can scream from within

    i love it here, lying here, thinking here
    next to the thicket and treeline
    remembering this time last year
    when i was cradled in decline

    it is early spring and there are no bugs yet
    can it always be this way
    warm breezes and bug freedom
    at least i can have THIS day

    i see a plane tear across my blue sky
    burning fuel as it returns from vacation spots
    i wonder where they've been
    and i wonder if there were bugs there

    Nice writing, but you allways do. Made me visualize a nice spot and think about nature and cycles and things. Loved the rhythm and it read well. Write on..................Tempestlady

    OHHHHH MYYYY GOD! That was amazing, by far one of the best I have read in a long time. I was right there by your side, with you from the start to the end, I could almost feel the sun and the wind, as well as hear the roar of the planes engines. SO VIVID!

    Wow, wow ! It is always such a great feeling when I get a response like this. When someone is reached by your expression, all efforts seem worthy. Thank you !

    I like the flow and imagination. Just the "no bugs" thing sticks with me. The bugs are somewhere. Dormant or hiding. Burrowed under leaf litter or bored into the bark of a tree or surrounded by a protective shell like a cocoon. Sorry to be so nit picky.

    the bugs are a metaphor for cancer. I had cancer last year and today I am cancer free. this is mostly for my understanding but, I included it here to be interpreted at will. I do NOT expect ANYONE to derive my intended sentiment :) thank you for reading me and your beautiful honesty.

    Maybe a prelude on how the "bugs" invaded your life and body. But now I understand more and it makes more sense. D@mn those @$!**%^ Bugs!

    Good job - I loved the meandering nature of this poem and your flitting back to the bugs as you continued. I liked how you reflected on the present as well as the past and deeming the sky "yours". Very effective, gave a real sense of being cocooned throughout.

    yes ! thank you for your time. poetry can say so much with just a few words, it is an amazing and precious thing when someone else can relate to your heart and emotions.

    as not to confuse you, I write under two names. "Crush" wrote No Bugs but by accident I replied with my other name, Phission. Thanks again.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.
