Dimensional Jump


I just arrived back from a trip to The Twilight Zone.

No, my nephew is not in the Phillipines, thank you very much.

Enough said. (Though I will add, how appropriate this weirdness happened while I was putting together a poem about a teleportation device.)

On to my Day 12 poem for the Poem-a-Day prompt contributed by Jane Shlensky, "Write about a piece of technology or engineering that does not exist but that should."

Below is my attempt.

Tele-
     portation
     device
     finer
     than
tele-
     phone

transmitting
material
self to soul mates
left
in the dust

better than bitter
sound
waves
wafting
through
opaque atmosphere

  1. Great poem, only I fear it will take some considerable machine to have me teleported anywhere – you see, I hate to think that I kind of left body parts behind me here and there.

  3. I like the aliterations and how the poem unfolds - choppy and demanding :-)
    "material / self to soul mates" Great!
