Virtues To Vices

Rainbows painted in the sky White daffodils singing in the rain Drops of dew glistening in the morning sun Clear desert pools of cold spring water Red plump strawberries nestled in green beds Summer mountain meadows of grasses and blooming flowers Golden stands of Aspen glowing in the setting sun Scented pines and carpets of needles baring naked warmth Autumn leaves of red yellow and brown fluttering in the waning sun Thunder and lightening flashing banners across the sky Flooding rains and hurricanes calling an end to summer Silent snowflakes underneath dark fluffy clouds Winters brown weeds standing tall and lean Black mud oozing through naked feet Dirty snow melting in the city streets Dead stumps rotting in the ground Marsh gas wafting up between your toes Mosquitoes swarming after your eyes and nose Clouds of flies feasting on earthly remains

very very clever List poem, Jim. I like this a lot. (My mom would beg to differ on the snow, but I find it brings nothing to me but a headache on my work days)

wow, amazing descriptions, JIm!!And I like how it went from sweet to sour!! However, I think some people actually enjoy some of those latter ones you mentioned!! I sure don't like them though, but probably scientists enjoy them!! This is your usual GREAT writing!
