Blues blend with browns
the trio of raindrops on
checkerboard lawns, the yellow
corona and dirt on the skirt
of the polkadot mimes
the lady in black, the jazz
on the sidewalk, the tango
of moonlight as the ocean
bears down

to the sage and the poet
the charlatan congress
the think tank of dribble
and rhyme

mud over puddles

splash of the sparrows

everyone back
to the game's starting line

Oh Emma, this is brilliant . . .
quote:
the charlatan congress
the think tank of dribble
and rhyme

And to end it "back to the game's starting line" is masterful.
