Midnight Flight

[MystyrMystyry]

A hot bath
Rain soaked night
Mirror steam
Must be a dream

Because suddenly
The tub takes off
With me in it
Toward the infinite

Through the window
We smash
And high over
The city we hover

Lights flicker
On the main roads
Cars like electric ants
All replicants

Start-stopping
Glowing insects
Stuck in a maze
A sight to amaze

As pieces break off
And veer down sidestreets
Each lane its own fractal
Me a wet pterodactyl
Soaring above it all


Hot for left cold for right
A tug on the plug and up
Two for down - a swoop
And loop the loop

Through lightning clouds
(Dangerous -
But what I'm doing isn't?)
So home in the distance

Inspect the damage
Guess an estimate
Back through the window
Worry about it tomorrow

Time for bed
But would you believe
The mattress decides
It wants to glide

So out we go
Steady now
Through the front door
(Because bills are a bore)

And straight up
But now beyond clouds
High above the atmosphere
Into the stratosphere

Nothing to fear

You have the wildest imagination! I had to giggle at the wet pterodactyl line!

the font colour was a bit off-putting for these weary eyes but once again, another cracker and I so want your children's book of rhymes published by the time my grandkids arrive in the world....

[MystyrMystyry]

Thanks every - what can I say? Pterodactyl rhymed first, and seemed to fit later :)

[MystyrMystyry]

Thanks Delta - can you give me a date for that?

The thing is I want to read an out-there kidsbook like they used to be when I actually was one, but whenever I come across a recommend it usually seems to be missing that magical factor - lots of Y and Z, but X is rare

It's probably as much a fault of me having been so ravenous a reader that I want to fill the void

Mystyry Rhymes eh?

Haha

[Delta40]

sounds like you're the one who will have to create it. No I don't have a date as they are both too young (I think they are anyway!) Read my latest poem?

[kittypaws]

I luved it!

So free...reckless and fun!

Next time call me and I'll join you! I have always enjoyed those wide rides!

all kidding aside...you rhymed some and some not but when one is writing off the cuff with a moment's inspiration that is what you get.

I enjoyed it as any child would! (I am staying young forever!) :0

Thanks Kitty - two nudies flying away in a bathtub - could be fun

Often it's better to drop the rhyme than force it, especially with short lines - though sometimes it could just need more work (if I'm in the mood)
