cool
he sends her purple lilacs
when she is in a funk
i think he likes her
he said her disheveled haircut
made her look like
a straw scarecrow
what a mouth
THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from " Lavender " by Joanna Fuhrman: cool, purple, drown, think, disheveled, sulk, straw, world, mouth, funk, rattle, lilacs
Lilacs and a criticism, not a good duo. I so feel the line "in a world gone mad." Truly, I think it has.
ReplyDelete" fit of the sulks" .... I've been tiptoeing dangerously near just such a fit. Didn't know what to call it until now. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteInventive, entertaining, and apt!
ReplyDeleteHe seems to have made mixed signals into an art. Wow.
ReplyDeleteAnd on the bit about shaking, rattling, and rolling... let's!
Unique poem. Love it!
ReplyDeleteAs one with disheveled hair, I wish someone would give me lilacs!!!
