Poetry: Magic carpet

by Raymond Alexander Kukkee

Created on: July 24, 2011

Eyes Closed,  Mind Open  


I met a zeitgeist lady
Who sent me on a trip
Flying through the universe with
Instructions and some tips

I closed my eyes to contemplate
my future,  now and past
Before you know it I was dizzy,
Traveling so fast

It did not really cost too much
with carpet and instruction
All I had  to watch out for
was  tall trees and construction  

A bit of wampum,  off I went
upon her  flying carpet
A bit of flash and fire and woe
and I asked  ‘Are we there yet?”
 
My  open eyes,  to  my dismay 
Disproved  that zeitgeist  found
For there I was,  just fine, you see
Still sitting on the ground.
