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
