Journey With A New Friend
Wilde Beast Bumping Heads
Journey With A New Friend
Each new friend speaks a new language.
Unique histories to share.
So much to say, it’s a traffic stall.
Rare books of knowledge.
Scriptures delineating a process.
Each new friend speaks a new language.
Shared representations?
A journey that is just introduced?
Unique histories to share.
Wilde beast bumping heads
on a prehistoric plain.
So much to say, it’s a traffic stall.

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.

This has a very strong feel to it. Love the image of the wilde beasts!
Your sense of humor shines through. k.
Nice work with the form, Tammy. I like the metaphor of the wildebeests, too, and the word play on the spelling.
That works very well!
I love it … awesome poetry !!!
Neat journey!

Hi , Thanks for link up.
Nan
There are so many amazing metaphors in nature just waiting to be mined. One of the reasons I love Mary Oliver’s poetry…and yours.
oh that made me smile…the best friends are often those that you bump heads with every once and a while…and friendship always IS a cool journey..
Enjoyed reading your poem. The photo made me giggle!
This made me smile! Happy Valentine’s Day!
‘Each new friend speaks a new language.’…love that. Great piece, clever and well done.
Each new friend…
This uplifting, encouraging piece affirms our connectedness and the potential goodness in those we meet, as well as the lessons we are offered.
did get a chuckle with this piece… i’ve worked with exchange student for over 15 years and communication can be difficult… ah, new friends
I like the perspective on friendship,like learning a new language ~
The words make you think! I’m your latest FB follower, visiting from the Happy Friday Blog Hop.
Interesting post. Not what I would have thought looking at the photo. That’s what makes visiting blogs so great, I see unique perspectives.

I love this idea of each friend speaking a new language!
We have much to learn, from everyone on our planet~
So well done!!! 😀
Nice use of form and I really like the concept of knocking heads, so true.
Hi Astro-poet!! Love that, and your poem, great refrain, excellent chain–of words. Really enjoyed it. Thank you so much for the visit. Looking forward to reading more of your words 🙂
this is so true, trying to find a balance between contrasts and common ground
An interesting form, interestingly handled.
I love the subtle humour in this piece.. dealing with people when there’s no common language can be fun and frustrating in turns. Very nice 🙂
wow so nice 🙂
elmers…it tastes good too…
smiles….
rahter like the opening lines…each new friend is themselves a journey…
I really liked this, and the words so true…walking into new friendships is uncharted territory and so uncertain. Clever write indeed.
Learning new friends is learning how to speak a new language, what a cool thought.
You write with a smile in your words. I like this 🙂
Love the form… Nice one!
Excellent. Meaning with a touch of humor.
