Urban Legends Poem by Jagannath rao Adukuri

Laughter echoed in sunbeams on empty roads
These walks resounded just like laughter
Their myths began ages ago, still evolving
Dinosaurs that took to the air, colored images
Picked on leaves’ ends on sunny days.
The mountains walked further back, in blue
Their stories hidden in gaping quarry-holes.
Empty promises filled the void and the garden
There were no thoughts underlying, mysterious
Creativity became a big name, a mere promise
When lying with suspended reason and fever.
The images, freshly geometric, lacked body
Our consciousness streamed now and then
The holes were aplenty and the images broken
A copy of the reality was worse than reality
Art sounded as though there had been no life.
