He plays God. Fallen Angel 5

by Darren   Nov 14, 2015


On the seventh day with no restriction in sight,
leaving a cloud, a cliche he tarnished
belching fossil fuels
screaming nitrous oxide
sleeping for fools
he arrived.

Nature was fair game,
she never went away
this troubled his quarrel
toyed with his ego
tore at his thoughts.

So he chewed on a lion
then spat it out for the gazelles
he fed an alligator to a warthog
killed a polar bear with a penguin.

With a frenzied pace
he carried a snow capped mountain
and dropped it in Australia
dragged the desert by it's corners
to the north pole
then spent hours tossing fish into the sky.

Yet man still puzzled him
they ignored his tantrums
so imperious against his perilous prancing.
In a huff he pointed to God......
'Have it, it's your problem to solve.'

I have decided to repost these as individual poems, they are taken from my poetry book I published on Amazon.

Some of the older members have already read these and I thank them
Just a quick fix to get my number of poems up. I was probably a bit quick publishing, some of these need more work.

    Reading so many? I have just begun!
    Darren, in seriousness, I am thoroughly enjoying them and I really am not just saying that. They are a real achievement, you should be proud of these.

    "....leaving a cloud a clihce he tarnished...." - excellent, clever writing, Darren.
    Again, and I am repeating myself I know, the imagery throughout is excellent. Mountains dropped in Australia, Deserts dragged by their corners to the north pole - super imagination shown throughout.
    I love the ending of this part - the humorous, sulky "Have it, it's your problem to solve"

    I no longer read these wondering what to expect - I go into them looking forward to more excellence. Don't disappoint me, Darren, lol
    All the very best until the next instalment,
    Ben
