Pancake Clouds and Desert Earth by Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen Sunday, December 18, 2005 Not rated by the Author. Share Print Save Become a Fan
The pancake clouds Hover over the mountaintops As sheep-wool herds of fluff Float hungrily nearby. The sky is lazy over Arizona-brown Winter-desert earth. Christmas’s ‘faux’ electric-colors Have been left behind In the oasis called Tucson. The hustle and hullabaloo Of big-city-holiday-shopping-frenzy Still echoes from the rear of the Tahoe With the vibrations of crackling bags, Shifting loadings and Styrofoam rubbings, Along with gleeful children’s voices. The popcorn fleece of sheep Have disappeared into nether regions, As a storm front disperses Their form of life force. The sky was lazy Over home-bound desert earth, Now it searches with cloud-fingers Of substance, and Christmas-worth. Erin Elizabeth Kelly-Moen © Copyright 12/18/05

I read these extraordinary lines and, of all things, see D.H. Lawrence and Salvadore Dali sitting down to write them together:-) Your gift for highly original metaphors suffused with penetrating philosophical insight and emotional/psychological depth always makes for absorbing poetry. Aberjhani

Brilliant writing Erin. I loved the wonderful use of metaphor to create such descriptive word pictures. Much enjoyed! Take care Chanti

Sounds like you need to make a sacrifice to the gods of desert storms, maybe one of those Christmas presents would be a good thing to use...ed
