Meager poetry? At the hand of a bleak poet?
With lush Spring (petunias and iris, particularly bearded) it's a stretch to the bleak.
The same with food. Verdant green asparagus and blood oranges still at the market. Strawberries which fulfill a mouth's expectation. Yes, today, buy more.
old basket of fondness
ReplyDeletesitting there on the bench
unaware of wolves and wenches
behind the iron fence
who sits by the basket and sings?
& who does not hear the song
and the blast of treachery
trying so hard to take first place?
