Paper Path: My Own Tree of Musings

By Xlibris US

I long to gallivant across the earth, frolic through the countryside and open fields. The first of many more works to come, Paper Path: My Own Tree of Musings is a collection of carefully polished, handcrafted poems hatched from the mind of a spirited young girl just barely out of her teens. It turns every day thingsher cat, outer space, even bullyinginto profound, thought-provoking acrostics, haikus, old high school works, and a special piece modeled after Geoffrey Chaucers Canterbury Tales. Kelley dives deep into the spiritual roots that make her so strong, from direct Bible passages to her own creations. She provides an individual section that allows the reader to get an inside look into the author herself, but not in the way anyone is expecting!

Exhilaration

I am ecstatic, firework ecstatic, when I formulate a poem or a story for entertainment, and all of the flawless vocabulary just comes to me like a gargantuan magnet that allures metallic objects, and I sense the avalanche of sensory imagery submerge my mind like a tumultuous ocean engulfing a ship throughout an uncivilized rainstorm, and the similes and metaphors are a savage infantry that infringe the voice which ventilates, You are inadequate! And when my opus is accomplished, I am a mirthful, bee-lining river of notions, brainstorms, and illusions.

When I perceive

A chronicle concerning my commendatory

VIPs in the heart of a magazine,

Or if I behold them on TV,

If I take heed to their ventilations,

I sense ecstasy.

I long to gallivant across the surface

Of the earth,

Frolic through the countryside

And open fields,

Navigate a mountain, sail the seven seas.

Experience nature, venture out beyond the horizon.

My yearning.

Summer.

Shopping, road trips.

School’s out; beach, anyone???

Cook-outs, parties, romantic nights.

Sleep time

As I leaf through the sheets

Of a novel, I am consigned

To outlying regions and

Fictitious sites, ones that are arbitrarily

Discovered in one’s philanthropy, insight, and

CONSCIENCE.

Crestfallen

Are we all so astronomically polished that we can scowl and condemn another human being and discover blunder within them? Is
