Croissants and french roast
alongside the tricolored
cobblestones, the daydreams
thick,in baywindows and brie
in tropical locales in
ports with trendy tables
and windowpane eyes behind
the alluring shades

anywhere but here

the morning is flat
grimfaced and stoned
stamped in hungover moons
and hearts interrupted

drowning in vodka, straight
up and the redundancy
of carbon copy sonnets

run with the wind
anywhere but here

the sobriety of Sunday

and the preaching of
sparrows, on iced
over sycamores

the leaves in remiss
while the many cold moons
continue to tally.

I find when I read your work it creates the most vivid paintings in my mind. This was the most beautiful artistic piece thus far

and the preaching of
sparrows, on iced
over sycamores

Ahaaa......I can smell the air, I can see the stones.
How well your words allow my mind to see.

The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools.

"the morning is flat

Only you could gift us this imagery.
Enjoyed, Mish.

Dear Goddess,
Wishing you soon, balmy nights beneath vibrant leaves
anew.

“windowpane eyes behind the alluring shades”

Gorgeous Michelle.

Have you any croissants left?

Ink'd, the morning may be flat, but your poem most certainly isn't!

Beautifully worded and imagery supreme.

the morning is flat
grimfaced and stoned
stamped in hungover moons
and hearts interrupted

and the preaching of
sparrows, on iced
over sycamores
----------------------------------------------

The above illustrate exactly what I am talking about and I do love when a poem creates visuals to indulge in.  Well done
