Pink Skies

POPPIES & MUSHROOMS I desire a beautiful sky. One to inhale with my big brown eyes. Fly like a kite, under the midday light. Join me in this lollipop fight. Till we say Goodnight. Let's sit on the floor Indian style. Passing around the same smile. Holding each other by the wing. As we take a puff and sing, a song about: Poppies and Mushrooms, Lets hold hands and enjoy the fumes. I rub my bare body with poison ivy. A poisonous Vera, deep aloe skin deep I enjoy the penetration under my earthly skin. With the goodness of a sneeze that feels like a sin. With Poppies and Mushrooms, my hair I groom. An inviolate flight on acid. Skinny dipping in the calmness placid. I want to touch that elephant in the sky. Before the illusion vanishes before my eyes. Pink clouds and fluffy marshmallows. Purple kittens and rainbow shadows. Liquid bamboo, and poppies too. Cocoa mushrooms, to get rid of the flu. Poppies and Mushrooms, in a jungle beat. Down my legs, like a dog in rut. Poppies and mushrooms, and a giant balloon. Pop one for me, and act like a baboon. Walk with me across this gingerbread bridge. Let's use up all the cake in the fridge. Graffiti and skittles, While I sing "Hey Diddle Diddle." Lets follow the unicorn, with green feet. Poppies and Mushrooms ever so sweet. Here Kitty Kitty, feel my heart pulse. Hear me meow and tweet tweet tweet. Kool-Aid and Hawaiian punch for lunch. How about some orange Captain Crunch. Poppies and Mushrooms, from the sky I fell. Footsteps down the yellow belly tripping trail. Skip to my Lou, it's time to swallow another pink pill. And sing me this song, where all these illusions are real. by;p.d.

I saw everything here except the cobalt blue drink unless that is the kool-aid that you speak of. The one so cool that the walls move with it's cool stimulation. There were never poppies on the path I took because I could never condone monkeys. Instead I prefered to keep a blotter right next to my windowpane except on brownie night. Its quite a world when your mind takes flight.

You can use this first verse PD and see how making the syllable count match it already sounds more iambic [sorry I haven't time to break it down with unstress STRESS for you. YOU try..which word when you read them do you naturally emphasis? [I want a beautiful sky./One to inhale with my eyes./to fly high in like a kite,/under the midday's strong light./do join this lollipop flight./untill we must say goodnight.]

Congrats on the win. I have no idea what the win is for... will go exploring the winner's page, if my shmoo-girl stays asleep. THIS IS A FANTASTIC POEM. Never did drugs, but this I'd put side by side with LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS. You channeled Lennon, for sure! Glad you like my avatar! Liked that movie, too! "Anything I can carry? Do I have your word, Sir?" ;-) However, the painting called to me. I have some others, too, I may use, including Waterhouse.

This really is a once in a lifetime kind of write, Linda!...poppies and mushrooms and a giant balloon...pop one for me and act like a baboon..insanely clever word usage...gingerbread bridge...raiding ALL THE FOOD in the FRIDGE! Oh,...I hope you are contributing to the food bill...lol...If I could trap this kind of energy to write a different kind of poem...Oh, I'd be the next Shel Silverstein! High five..gotta go dive....BABY!! G.

I think I had a dream about this one time, lol! Thanks for stopping by to see how I'm doing. I'm lost my muse so writing has been a bit difficult for me here lately but life goes on. Sorry to hear your having guy issues too - I know my hubby is guilty but hell will host the winter olympics before he admits it! It's great to know I'm missed, cause I missed you too! Hopefully I'll ease back into writing soon! ~Love, Tirzah~
