Dandelion Wine

Dandelion Wine Sun swept potions brave the night chill- Faintly foaming dry epitaphs, meant to Disrupt the local elections…all the while- Laughter spills from hidden crevices, where False promises flow like water set free from dams, Broken by the truth- …. a dry finish.... a shooting star. 3:41 am 06/25/10

James, I read this and enjoyed your free verse poem.. The tittle alone is brilliant, the poem leads to an imagination so wild to see the white flow in the night.By the way the shootin star, was a perfect ending,,,enjoyed,..Sidney LeeAnn
