sizzling yellow summer sky

beach balls

on blistering sand

worries

like butterflies

floating on the breeze

heaven

in a season

shattered

by clenched fists

beating down the glass wall

that separates rage

from logic

law

and reason

This is the eighteenth poem of my personal 30-day poetry challenge to break away from the machine to think about things that don’t matter. I have no idea what I’m doing. – Jim
