David Kavanagh Poet Rhyme

:::A Day In May:::

Enter sleep, for a little while 
      somnambulism, in the tulips
      Wake up but unable to smile 
      compost pillows oh so putrid 

      Maggots tasting, awfully vile 
      magic mushrooms very lucid 
      Uh-oh a pain, thistles or piles
      grows rapidly, hell I’m rooted

Paula Goldsmith May 16, 2022 at 8:29 AM Congratulations on your win. WOW!!! What a creative/fun write. Have a blessed day writing away......................... David Kavanagh May 16, 2022 at 9:13 AM Thank you Paula, an abstract fun write indeed, I just kinda went tripping with my muse on this one, cheers David

Andrea Dietrich May 15, 2022 at 2:07 PM i can see you put a lot of thought into this one. Unfortunately, I don't do well with interpreting abstract poetry . I bet you'd have scored higher with another judge! Thanks for participating and congrats in my contest. David Kavanagh May 15, 2022 at 2:16 PM No problem Andrea, to my own detriment I tend to put my own abstract thoughts into poems even for contests, I totally get what your saying, thanks for the mention, cheers David

Jennifer Proxenos May 12, 2022 at 12:24 PM Great rhyming poem - should i rather say - supercalifragilisticexpialadocious! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer. David Kavanagh May 13, 2022 at 1:22 AM Thank you Jennifer, a lot of syllables in that word, hmmm, could I fit it into a monoku, seems like a challenge, I’d need lots of magic mushrooms first, cheers David

Sotto Poet May 8, 2022 at 10:43 AM David, you wrote a quite intriguing and thought-provoking poem. Your metaphors and great wording shed more enchantment on this writing, my best wishes for the contest. David Kavanagh May 8, 2022 at 11:33 AM Thank you Lasaad, this one is a little abstract and psychedelic, but gives the reader a little deeper insight into how the conscious can interpret and tap into the bizarre dreamworld, cheers David
