The Vision

And Indoles had a dream and in that dream he saw a vision

The Kaiser standing with a big smile, a paper bag in his hand
and he stood pretty in his white shinning armor
and in the bag,the cup of life made of gold
and inside the cup, I saw the world

and then I saw a mist, as if the world in tears
and from the mist came out a horse
and the horse had twenty and two feet
and each foot had studs

and sitting on the horse a rider looking like a cloudy day
and the sun sat on his head and a field of violets below him
and voices and trumpets could be heard
saying “gaucho, gaucho”

and the horse and rider swooped past the knight
and snatched the paper bag from his hand
and took out the cup and looked at the world and said
“Three to One”, “Three to One”

and crowds cheered and waved and cried
and laughter could be heard
and all the world was smiling
and paid honor to “La Celeste”

  1. Nice pome btw. Is it an entry for the creative writing competition? OR is it one of Toc’s Tics? (Sorry, know I’m repeating myself but couldn’t resist…)

  2. I don’t know if it meets the requirements but yes, I’d love to enter it. 🙂

  3. Ferret, how did you know this was about football? What gave it away? 🙂

  4. um, I’m probably being a bit thick here, but what is La Celeste? Is it something to do with Verdi..? IF so, it does qualify

  5. I disqualified myself then, Claire.

    “La Celeste” is the nickname for the Uruguayan World Cup Team

    It means “Light Blue” 🙂

  6. oh I seee. I am none too hot on all matters football…
    Just tweak it and enter it anyway.

  7. How can I tweak a vision? 🙂

    No, it’s alright, I’ll enter another one soon.

  8. Yikes, this is the second pome about football that I have seen recently.

    It is not a trend to be encouraged, in my opinion. 😉
