Anacreontic Verse, for Edward Ebbs's Contest Written January 16, 2016 I red of your blue in strange yellow ink While viewing your lips a strange sad like pink Your colouring book of an adult sort judged by a Jury's unfounded report Scribbles and squiggles all over the page defied my knowledge of knowing your age You could not colour in intricate space instead a rainbow on hands and your face You stared beyond me with blank starving eyes the whats and wherefores none of them applies Almost all the red that mixes with your blue are marks of sadness he clawed into you A colouring stick with a silvered blade each line sliced with skill heart in hand displayed!

I have never heard of an anacreontic verse, but this looks like the shape of a poem I once read in Alice in Wonderland. Very whimsical.

Like a moth to a flame you seduce us with the impact of you words and we fall prey to their magic spell and enter your mind of thought. Emile.

Congratulations on your piece, I enjoyed it, well not enjoyed in the sense of humor but in the sense of well-written with color. I love the yellow ink line the best, media inspired writing, as in yellow journalism...I'm not following the case, but may start after this. It's an evil world out there; I think from pictures I've seen of her she may be on something harder than valium. You captured her eyes - blank starving eyes.

Thanks Reason, your now have my curiosity. What is the case you're are speaking about? I would like to r ad about it. This poem was written from imagination so it makes your comment that much more intriguing.

Thank you for the enlightening comments further down, Richard; the reader gets to know what the writer had in mind, and not just make up his own version, although I had mostly got to the bottom of what you wrote. ~ Congrats on this fine win. // paul

Thanks Edward. I have a feeling I didn't fully understand the contest.

Well, I had one comment, then read you were observing from the jury and that led to different comments including that I love your imagination. Whatever the intention, the write is dramatic and draws one in. I very much enjoyed it ... CayCay

richard, this has quite an impact!! Loved the line about the blue are marks of sadness he clawed into you. I read what you said beneath here to Eileen and that helped me get the full picture at the end!

So deep. One wonders about the inspiration behind this piece. Glad to see you posting. Towards the end....is that YOUR blue? Hugs

Richard Lamoureux
Date: 1/16/2016 6:34:00 PM

It's a bit in the same vein as my "Canvas" poem. No the end is not my blue. In this one I imagine the young girl in court for the murder of her abuser. I am one of the people in the room observing her and the unfolding of events.
