Poppy Tales

Intricate depths grow
among the blueness.
Gardens are being planted
within the souls of
the ones who are stranded.
But we aren't high and dry
We are drowning...
and sinking is even
out of our reach.
So, I plant my poppy
and I wait for it
to grow me out of here.
I am intricate...
     I am depth...
          I am grown...
and the blueness stays my own.

Personally, I like romping through periwinkle even though they don’t have the “nice” affect that poppies do…not that I’m saying that the poppies in this poem have a nice affect…I mean I wouldn't want you to think I didn't read this or anything by posting a non sequitur reply, because I HATE those... and uhm...well...Kenthry, WHY did you have to put that line up... I can't write anything now... *sigh*

Carman, this was flawless. The transitions and originality... GOD it is SO nice to see that...I have to keep rereading, bounces new thoughts against each other every time. Wish I could write in a less bouncy state so you would know how much I love this (and maybe bounce back a bit of my understanding.. because yeah, I see the people promise, and lack thereof and... oh, this is just lovely (but in a very non-non sequitur kind of way).

This has such freshness and beauty - even in its pain - a tender and lovely combination!
