what may flowers bring?

bed headed
dandelion
sunshine freckles
spill out

from 
hole-in-the-bucket 
cereal bowl
daydreams

tripping on
shoelaces 
winding
gloriously

green eyed 
and untied
jungle vines
tangled up

and tugging
fists full 
of nobody's home 
knock knock jokes

giggled 
to a 
monkey
playing

matchbook 
love songs
on a tinker toy 
piano

close your eyes
and sing along
unbelievably 
off key 
 
into the
stracciatella 
cirrus sky
let it go

kick out all
the tent pegs
and
let it flow 


Rene ~ 2013

    reminds me of childhood and first loves. whimsically nonsensical, such a fun read.

    Rene, the key in this is all the fun that's had with you, and reminding them how much they will miss you. Such a cataclysm of images, I really loved this. First time at your blog, thanks to dverse, and so glad I found you! Peace, Amy Barlow Liberatore

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
