Snail subsisting
in solitary
travel trailer
inhales oily hair.
Magenta imagination
strikes a stuttering sibilance.
This journey is
long,
lingering,
loneliness.

A poem crafted in a workshop with Gary Gottfriedson at Word on the Lake 2013. (Having a great time! Wish you were here!)
The brief: 10 lines with rich imagery; include senses, an amazing verb, and a colour; avoid clichés.

certainly sets you thinking
A beautiful piece Shawn.
Thank you.
My favorite lines: Magenta imagination/strikes a stuttering sibilance. Very nice!
I am particularly fond of magenta imagination myself. 🙂 That’s ‘the colour’ and ‘one interesting verb,’ of course.
Kind of makes me think of MadLibs. 🙂
