Silver Lining – An Original Poem
I wouldn't mine gold,
oh no, not me.
I would be somewhere in the clouds
Prospecting their valuable linings.
That lies battered and abused,
While you defile her once again
And never once looking up
To the lustful sky.
Developing new methods
Of extracting that fluffy silver,
That rest comfortably
High above your heads.
Wondering what kind of monster
Would dare to destroy
The beautiful shapes in the sky,
But that monster is I.
With trivial things,
Like what you,
The overburden
Has to say about me.
And scrape
Your precious
Linings away,
Without a care in the world.
It would make the news
And the overburden would ask “Why?”
Not even the EPA could reach
High enough to stop me.
Will be horrified to find me
Brutally ravaging your solace
Like a vengeful locomotive
Screaming through tribal land.

You're becoming a master man. Great stuff.
I think the best part of your poetry is seeing how much you have progressed. Amazing.
We kind of are mining clouds right?
Here's to you for a job well done!
I appreciate all the support,
It really means a lot.
Thank You :)
I like this post. I ran out of upvote juice (20 limit) so I can only comment. Great job by the way.
I would rather have your comment than your vote,
It means the world to me
Thank You :)
Wow! Great post. You are now a great poet @gonzo
Good job. Keep it up! ;)
This made me laugh.. HAHA.. "The beautiful shapes in the sky,
But that monster is I."
@zionuziriel
Thank You
I am so glad that you enjoyed it :)
any penny for many plenty
@virtualgrowth
You have some skill,
I like your rhyme :)
Be weary of what you praise or lord Gonzo may craze!
lol heavy stuff bro with sick picks
I like your rhymes too,
I think we have some poets
about to break out of their shells.
@gonzo Nah I only got one liners I'll leave the poetry to the master
Don't downplay the one liners,
They can be gold.
Nice poem mate But you are already a miner. Bitcoin miner. lol
Thank You
I am really that glad you liked it
And maybe someday I can mine people too
Not sure what I will find, but it sure sounds like fun :)
Very beautifully written bro. Easy to say I thoroughly enjoyed the journey you took me on. Short and sweet but gave me so many images for my imagination to ponder upon. The reflective ending was a nice touch. "A vengeful locomotive screaming through tribal land" That made me remember a book in my African Studies class a few years back in university where we read about a European riding his bicycle through a small village and the indigenous inhabitants were absolutely terrified and vigilant of the man's "steel horse" (the bike). Upvoted keep up the great poetry and sharing the inspiration
@verbal-d
I can only imagine what the indigenous people must have thought. I am very glad you liked it and I really appreciate your analysis and the time you spent on this reply :)
Thank you so much!
You're most welcome. I truly did enjoy it. It is easy for me to write lengthy thoughtful comments if I'm inspired as such from creative pieces like yours.
@verbal-d
Oh stop, or it will go to my head and I will forget about all the little people that claim to have names.
Haha okay until next time. It is okay to receive compliments but not to revere in them. Humbleness is a great attribute indeed.
I like the flavour to your poems.
@linzo
Thank You :)
