Yes, it has been a while since I wrote and posted a poem. This came from the prompts from a Yahoo writer's group I belong to (CHPercolators). Enjoy!
In the province of apathy the scarabs drive, heading to the scales of fate
Driving to see if the feather of truth balances each their weight
If the scales balance, the scarab becomes the feather - free to stay or fly as she chooses
If the scales tip, the scarab once again becomes the beetle coming forth from the dung to climb the seven rungs, at each level asking his heart not to stand witness against him
But first they must cross the sands of apathy, where they may yet drown and never again be found
For such are the vagaries of Fate
This blog is specifically for poetry and musings about poetry.
