Flower Carnival
May, 2003
*
Gently snip,
(arms that are broke)
Cannot hold-up flowers.
Pot after pot
A severe look
For invisible colors;
But pale green hides the shine
In clenched fist bowers,
But...
Does it really matter?
*
Slam-poet riots of reds
And sharp orange,
Clash-gaudy hues
Of fuchsia dark-purples;
Mix them with-hip maiden's
Who smooth out mismatches,
By blending hot colors
With bland shoes and purses.
*
You will need to shield eyes,
With soft limes and pastels
That buffer out acid,
And smother confusion;
So take a chance...
*
Make punk maids share beds
With soft-blue lobelias,
And the lace-panty silvers
Of grey dusty-millers,
And have fun...
At your all-summer carnival.
*
end

Mr. Ice this is a great piece. I love your use of imagery. Well done my friend. It is great that I get a chance to see your stuff on here since I don't get to wander into chat much these days. Thanks for posting this my friend!

Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history!

In clenched fist bowers,
