The Giant's Glasses

by Treischel


One day
While walking
In the local park,
Past dark

I saw
A strange shape
That shouldn't be,
Under tree

Hidden
And quite stark,
Really blending
With bark

I took
Two passes,
When I found some
Glasses

Giant
Just must have
Dropped them there,
I swear

Very
Long ago,
In the cold snow,
You know

They're big
As branches
On Maple tree,
You see

Glasses
This huge size
Are very rare.
Don't stare!

Let them
Stay right there.
Someone's needing
A pair.




Just a bit a Nonsense

I was out on a walk, when I spotted these vines that reminded me of a giant pair of glasses. So I took a picture. My wife asked me, "Why are you taking a picture of that?". I replied, "Because it's interesting". I took the photograph in February 2012 along a path in the lower end of Battle Creek, just before it feeds into the Mississippi River in Minnesota about 5 miles South of St. Paul. This will become part of my Animated Stills collection.

Animated stills are poems where inanimate objects take on human, animal, or spirit forms, traits, or articles. They are derived from Photographs I have taken, that have moved me to write a poem associated with it.
