Traveling
I like the sensation of impermanence
while traveling by bus.
Bucolic landscapes seem to slip by and
effervescent communities ,
the cadence of a lost samba floating
in the afternoon...
Bunches of shamrock grow on the margins
of the dusty road...
Later, much later
the energetic cry of the sparrow
announces the impending dusk.
Next: radio, music, floating, stars, overt, symbol

Sequel
A little gray mouse, ate a little white louse in a big white house with a silver button. It wasn't a piece of mutton but it rung a silver bell.No rebel the little mouse started to yell. All I can tell is, it got a glimpse of a misty forest and there it went. Farewell!
Next: trunk, wilderness, bonfire, light, universe, dreamlike.

Challenge: trunk, wilderness, bonfire, light, universe, dreamlike
Trunk
I am ageless whose name is Trunk
found in the wilderness
on a deep dark spelunk
I followed them, the spelunkers, I must confess
into the light of above
with all the stealth that I possessed
I hadn't shown them my mettle
there in the down below
showing myself first at their bonfire
whilst they put on their kettle
so dreamlike was the flame
I lost my composure and did exclaim:
"arrrrrrrrrrrrr-a-warrrrrrrrrrrr-
rag-a-tin-tagularrrrrrrrrrrrrrr !" -
(clearing my throat
for the first time in ages)
"the rocks have told me
of the heavens and stars
they whispered of seas
but told me naught else of above
for they thought I wouldn't believe"
needless to say they all disbursed
in a ragtag fashion
as bats are versed
I stayed by the bonfire till my passion had cooled
pondering the odd beings
and their ill manners
soon the full moon hung directly above
I called it by name
and it beamed ever the brighter
taking a liking to me
and sweetly sang as we conversed
and I learned the ways of the universe
the bonfire now lies cold
without even a whisper of smoke
spelunkers long gone
having entreated their authorities
who now comb the environs
for Trunk, who has left for the stars

I liked the symbolic meaning of the word 'trunk', whether pertaining to a tree or an elephant
