An Unforgettable Experience (A PANtoum)~ By Molly Chiluwa

1/1/2014

0 Comments

 
The experience of trying to locate Altglashütten
Having a stop at the wrong bus stop in the black forest
Walking a thousand meters to a wrong direction
A place of nowhere in a German Black forest 

Treading along the high way for bicycles and cars
Experiencing the drowning noise of power cycles in the black forest
Boozing the serene-tranquil environment till the visit of an angel in blue skirt
Pictures of the Schluchsee rebounding and abounding in the black forest

Revision in my memory the picture of tourists in pleasure ship 
Relishing the beauty of the environment in the black forest
The atmospheric dismantling of the harmonious silence of nature
An orchestra of cheeping and chirruping birds in the black forest

Breezy flow of wind twisting the squeaky sound of doors
Braying sound of sheep in the meadow in the black forest
Clanging and jingling raucous sound of cow bells producing cacophony plus
The humming sound of flies trying to assert their space in the black forest

Flipping of book pages, breathing of unpolluted gas
Gulping the essence of nature with loud rings of laughter in the black forest
The brushing of dog Ryan's teeth and
Sports dog lapping milk from white china under the dining table in the black forest

Fluttering clouds, clasping of finger, twinkling of wine glass
Rhythms of sipping coffee, quivering hands of Justis on the piano in the black forest 
Chatting sound of cutleries, the chewing munching sounds
Swinging and clanging noise of bracelets and rings in the black forest

Places a nostalgia of the distant closeness of nature that abhors vacuum,
There can be no absolute silence, this is quite revealing in the black forest
Marveling over nature and poetry
Opening the pores of pantoum-ic writing by Adrianne in the black forest

Reveals that there is no better place in the world
To have a visit from the muse but in the black forest
Where reality and fantasy becomes a passionate couple
You have no experience of nature till you get to the German black forest.
