Writers Block Poetry Contest Week 2: Suspension (Hammock-style)

Hello Steemit! This is my entry for The Writers’ Block Poetry Contest: Week 2

WRITING PROMPT: Write a poem inspired by James Wright’s poem “Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy’s Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota”.

This is my first submission to one of these contests and it seemed befitting since I was in my very own living room hammock writing it.

When it's cold in Colorado, it's so nice to be able to relax in my Eno Deluxe Double Nest and still be able to stay warm, while I'm in my "thinks-zone."

I wanted to say thank you to @thewritersblock, @gmuxx and @anomadsoul for hosting this contest and getting me inspired to share some of my personal expression!

Ta-da...

And now, my poem.

Suspension (Hammock-style)

Suspended in time
On a cold day where star crossed lovers
Eclipse under a blood blue super moon
In a chorus of light flickers
Embers ignite under pressure
Of stubborn lungs whose trapped air explodes
Lightly swinging, aware of what only Atlas knows.

Jakob A. Martinez
