Talents Abound

Picture Credit: Brian's

Process note:  After a year in poetry writing and still groping I am inspired by the prolific writings of Brian. Brian’s prompt above led me to respond in a few lines of verse at his blog. I later thought  it would be great to extend  the few lines here and create  a proper posting.

In the spirit of gratitude and appreciation this Thanksgiving, thanks Brian and Happy Thanksgiving to all in the blogging community!

Brian

A little patch, a bit of grass
Struggling hard battling the unjust

At a spot where it so thrives

Against all odds just to survive

Proudly it announced its very presence

Others would trip that instance

To realize realities of form

Are not all that cushy and warm

Brian has that uncanny streak

To match and offer some great tweaks

Of taking on the ordinary on pavements

That others passed off and trampled on

The treasure trove that comes alive

From his pen given that will of life

Of graffiti and witty snippets

On car bumpers or walls of toilets

All didn’t get pass the watchful  eyes

Of the mind that jives

And surprise of surprise

A recent Mohawk guise

Reveals a roving talent out of the ordinary

Of no bounds nor boundary

Just to lead the pack

For what  ordinary folks lack

Prolific by nature

Hovers above in stature

For loads of reason and rhyme

That’s Brian!
