Couplet Matchsticks - a Conversation Starter

COUPLET MATCHSTICKS - A CONVERSATION STARTER The lyrics crescent of bravado Toes of the ballerina apropos The gymnast - a sculpture in motion A wrestlers seamless grip The poet’s morse code Tears dripping from clothesline Simmering heat from pavement Snow white encampment Cheap underwear Kilmer’s trees Serpentine legs, sharp Argentine tango Carmen’s March of the Toreadors Golden streets, pearls, living water Plath’s Tulips 10/23/2017
