Painted Ladies of San Francisco
Envelope Couplets (Last Stanza)


Amongst the Painted Ladies dressed like pearls,
a homeless watches Golden Gate Park squirrels
just down the street from Haight-Ashbury flops
where ‘Heaven’s not so far away’ is plopped
and psychedelic wheels of love will whirl
amongst the Painted Ladies dressed like pearls.


Painted Ladies = Victorian style homes

This was the perfect last stanza, Bob. You capsuled it all from the painted ladies to Haight-Ashbury to psychedelic funk. Loved it . . .
