About this ebook
Instant Poetry (Just Add Words!) is a collection of forty-eight of Lawrence Bergers instant poems. He has performed some of the poetry on stages along the West Coast and in upstate New York.
But what is instant poetry? Some of these intriguing works were created by the author based upon people calling out words and sentences at his interactive poetry readings. Upon hearing these audience contributions, he fashioned a poem built around them. Other poems in the collection were written around the event described in the poem. Instant Poetry (Just Add Words!) offers a unique experience in poetry and creativity.
Escape of the Lost Angel
(for G. C.)
Rising
Like the phoenix
from the cleansing flames.
Demon hands clawing at the purest spirit
to snuff out the light.
He who summons tries in vain
And the lost angel wings his way home.
A chain forged of blood
wraps itself around his skull.
A last -ditch effort to keep his spirit bound
yet, down though the centuries, it is his will that has
been strengthened.
The horns fall away
And the lost angel wings his way home.
