Web Creatures Poem by Liddy Luu

Phantoms in the mind gather....

Appear, on cue, shapeless blurs, fade to grey.

Shadows prance and dance, hugging, hurting

Silhouettes flirting, pheromones spurting

Feral, eyes wide, sleep deprived, behind masks hide..

Seeking consolation, wanting absolution

Phantoms in the mind meet, greet

Bitter bigots, sweet innocents.... find a seat

Take up residence laugh, weep, feel the heat!

Gimmicky mimics rhyme in time, fashioning passion...

Colorful word birds soar and caw, sometimes claw

Heaven huggers teach and preach, occasionally screech

Rabid radicals fight, bite, day and night..

Treading the threads, bouncing the boards..

Departing, cavorting web junkies snorting

Phantoms in the mind, party animals at play,

Suspicious, malicious, vindictive, selective,

Reclusive, abusive, flirtatious, outrageous

Loud, proud, wired, tired, minds fried, hopes denied

Phantom travelers on phantom highways, pay their dues

Cruise on through
