have a guess

Well done Geoffrey. The poem reads wonderfully. Photographs give the acute sense of time, place and mystery. And what a full explanation to answer the query. Can you bring along hard copy of this in case members are not on the blog.

Karen, you inspired me to write a riddle. Open to all what am I talking about?

Here it is -

Elephant in the Room

Poised, elegant, taking
a lengthy swan dive
softening into a rising bubble
hitting hard, now awash with
blood, carnage left, stunned
but not for long,
now rampaging everywhere
big, black and biting
horrified impotence
history convulses
the knife is set to cut
poised it now spreads poison.

Cecilia - Okay what is this about?
