(This is a parody of our member, Child of the Stars... I hope she doesn't kill me! It's all in good fun!
Hope anyone familiar with her style finds this amusing...

Oh, and by the way, you can all consider this a challenge. Write a parody of a fellow passions poet. Just be nice.)

Vermilion Acrobats and the Vortex of Teal

Cardboard fragments of vermilion transcend the walls of modern housing
Different shades of happiness seep away from my frowns
Groping into my consciousness with the fangs of malevolence and loathing
I eat into a box of cardboard and vermilion paper gowns

Two big geese fly into a giant loop thousands of light aeons high
I cannot comprehend the beautiful magenta down on the feathers as they fly
Creation of acrobatics in the rosemary accessories of a fallen pumpkin pie

Legions of children playing in electric wires of a non-electric fence
Flaunting crowns of euphoric trances and groping a song sounding loudly
Etheric and misdirected pangrammatists hamper away into a cerulean waterstream
And I walk into another vortex of swirls, my hair blazing with fire of teal

Allan I hate to see a poem with hardly any replies, you've taken the trouble to post you shoud get some readers.

Well done I'm sure this is a brilliant take on Child Of the Stars

You know this was a great poem! I just found it and you have inspired me to sit down and write about some poets and they will never know now how cool is that? Sorry I missed this too on its first go round, but loved your comments on JM's new poem LOL, that took time! Great job.
