"The Gates of Istar" by David Hart

"The Gates of Istar"  by  David Hart

   

The Gates of Istar
Now do the mountains wiggle
and giddily squirm

while solemnly sauntering
towards
A great fuming
cantankerous ocean

Sunrise... the Gate of Istar.

A blissful moon and
jolly bouncing stars

tango tersely

under
a scintillating
prickly shower of

chartreuse

Sun beams
Peace
and fervent love
blithely abound.

Now,
at the noble Gate of Ishtar.
