Graffiti

I placed graffiti on a wall
It seemed to me was ten feet tall
But now beyond horizons won
It seemed much smaller then when done.

It lay there under other grime
Underneath the gray of time and
Seemed to me a waste of puce
That could have been for other use

It struck me a distaste of couth
Better still a waste of youth that
Churns the milk to butters blend
And oft regrets its very end

All rivers run a down hill course
The power drains with each new force
And does not strain the good from bad
Nor the happy from the sad

But spills and sifts each hours grime
Into a hallelujah time

Your poem ranged from graffiti grime
~ to hallelujah time!

Now that is quite a stretch! ~ and you did it so poetically, Sir T.!!!

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.

The mix and blend of paint in time

It takes bad to really know good. Well done morning master!

Morning Sy!

I really enjoyed considering this write and the thoughts it evoked.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind.

I always enjoy the message that comes from
your bottle when it washes ashore...

This is but yet another....and tomorrow shall
bring to us even more.

Thanx Sir Sy...
