Acid Poem by David DeSantis
Acid
Angry Wood Dwarves
Are
Hanging from a nest
Of Crow’s feet badgers,
while
Balancing on a steeple
Of broken winged Butterflies.
Crayon finger Pygmies
Are
coloring in a box
of alleyway Alligators,
while
biting on the bark of
candy cane tree stumps.
Lawn Ornament Pelicans
Are
Dancing on the shingles
Of gingerbread roof
Mansions,
While
imagining a play
of Swan themed swimmers
Bee hive librarians
Are
Filling a pit
Of earth zombie wood pyres,
While
Reading a book
On suicidal
Moviemakers.
I’m
sitting on a couch
Thinking of themes
And listening to Tchaikovsky,
While
Acid tripping,
Head banging.

full of the weirdness that some encounter continually. you paint a twisted picture. i really enjoyed this. keep on keepin' on.
Not so much a stream of vitrolic but of natures Hallucinogenic escapades... I like very much
Love this piece, an adventure in to a world, that only few have bared witness to........great visuals, feels real.. Great work my friend all the very best J.L
Your choice of words and images made this a fun poem to read. Hope it really didn't happen.
Are all acid trips so well structured? At least you remembered it - after his opium trip Coleridge remembered all of Kubla Khan but was interrupted by a man 'from Porlock' before he could write it down. By the time he left he'd almost completely forgotten it. Fx
David, I've never done a trip, but you paint such a vivid picture I don't need to! Thank you.
David, I enjoyed your trip, I personally cannot relate to this but seeing it through your mind is enough, great imagery here, Lynda xx

Here the key word is 'lost'. The word 'while', isolated and recurring, is like refrain. If one thinks about 'Odyssey', can go to the Ninth Chapter to the Loto Eaters. Then to the Fifteenth to Telemachus.
