This poem emerged from the image of a flurry of potential “last straws” as in “the straw that broke the camel’s back.” This poem parlay’s the resilience of camels in the desert as a metaphor of resilience for us in whatever deserts in life we may experience…
The Straw Dint (Notably Possessive)
The straw didn’t brake
The camel’s back
With such reign
Time to bale
When surroundings
Anything but stable
As if
Know room at the in
A desert creature
Dune the best passable
Carrying life
In between
Oasis’s
