sunshine freckles
spill out
from
hole-in-the-bucket
cereal bowl
cereal bowl
daydreams
tripping on
shoelaces
shoelaces
winding
gloriously
gloriously
green eyed
and untied
jungle vines
tangled up
and tugging
fists full
of nobody's home
of nobody's home
knock knock jokes
giggled
to a
monkey
playing
matchbook
love songs
on a tinker toy
on a tinker toy
piano
close your eyes
and sing along
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

Delightful, Rene!
ReplyDeleteFull of the holiday spirit, from beginning to end. :)
ReplyDelete"Stracciatella cirrus sky" - captivating...
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful and playful; fun. I was your neighbor today at Magpie Tales.
ReplyDeleteSuch fun read, I feel like reading it again
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent abstract poem - it works as ekphrasis and stands alone as a most unusual view of daily living.
ReplyDeleteWowsers Rene, I loved this. It's elusive to me, but I love the flow of it, the pictures, even if I see only parts of the whole. Indigo x
