Rainbow wings
Tokyo moon
eclipsed
Paper lantern attraction
garden cannot accommodate
eighty metre lepidopteran
Mosura freight express
mach three speed
windows shatter
All the chrysanthemums in Tokyo
unable to sate
Mothra’s hunger
Reems of silk
dying mother
fighting off
Gojira’s advance
Reflective scales
tumble from
rainbow wings
powder blue beam
scattered through
azure skies
Moths night tide flight
cars and trucks
sent spinning
God
a gargantuan moth
who knew?
Rollin’ on
rainbow reverberations
Mosura freight express
Tokyo Tower
seen as a
giant candle
Ensnared in
silken trap
Godzilla
halted by
Mothra’s legacy
Leaves scattered
Mosura freight express
takes a scenic detour
Mosura dynesty
eternal
rebirth
Radioactive dinosaur
battling a
Incorporeal Moth.
Such things
decide this
worlds fate
Infant island’s
protector
flying home
over
golden seas

Mosura Freight the title of an album by Japanese Free Jazz musician Mototeru Takagi

I was just thinking that Mothra should be honored in a poem. And then I saw this.
Thanks for the comment.
Mothra is awesome. Everyone likes Mothra (well, I like to think they do).
What’s not to love about Mothra? I love Mothra.
I like the poem by the way. I like playing my mind games and reading the verses in different order…
Wow! I had to go to the dictionary and wikipedia for this, but now knowledgable on Mothra/Mosura and other lepidopterous references. This is such a colorful, fantastical poem. Love the irony/metaphor of
“Radioactive dinosaur
battling a
Incorporeal Moth.
Such things
decide this
worlds fate”
Great work!
Giant lepidoptera aka Mothra vs. a nuclear radiated mutated therapod aka Godzilla?
Poetic description very well done…
Nice. I agree with the post above. I like reading down the left, center and right “columns”. Gives the whole poem several different feels. Also…….Mothra!!!!
Thank you for the comment.
Actually I meant for this to be seperate poems but honestly, you can read it how you want. I appreciate the different views. Nice to see different ways of reading things.
And yes, Mothra is awesome.
