Notes About The Poem

 

Color Black and Black Gold

Chuck looks slender and charming 
wearing his black
tux, white silk shirt, black 
tie, black rose boutonnière  on his lapel , 
and polish black
patent leather shoes; 
drives up in his black Cadillac. 

Chuck, a Texas oil tycoon, is a character, 
drinking a glass of Black Crow whiskey. 

Charlene, his foxy lady in black 
dress and sable, diamonds woven in her black
hair, playfully flirting sips champagne. 

Black twilight night emergent rays 
cast twinkling stars through crystal chandeliers.

Cheerlessly, the black raven spies. 

Chaffinch tips it blue-grey cap, 
chirps under the black shadows of the trees. 
 
Black sleek cat with white lighting eyes, 
lurking in the moonlight, sighs. 

Black gold drilling, 
is Chuck’s conversation with his chairman.
As music plays, Charlene dances with  his partner.

Victor Buhagiar August 25, 2021 at 1:27 AM Lol! A nasty triangle in my opinion. A tycoon, a foxy lady and his partner, on one side. A ravenous raven, a delicate bird and a nasty cat. Who will win?
