cordite stains my fingertips

by jhon baker

flashes of brilliance hammer though my head – electric alive

blue

another fantasy slept through, hard on no recollection

the smell of gasoline oil from two stroke motors hard starting

and cordite stains my fingertips

    I really like poetry that makes me feel something. I like this one because it makes me smell something. Like a motor and cordite… Really nice Jhon!

    You said more in 5 lines, great imagery than most say in 5 long stanzas..
    I see you getting that groove back πŸ™‚
