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! |
