Gregory Richard Barden Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

desert dessert

I’ve seen in dreams a blither me -

      feet tanned and naked by the sea

            and patient ‘midst two palmy trees

                a hammock … nodding in the breeze

                 o dreams are rarely sweet as those

                warm South Pacific ‘tween my toes

            though should one Polynesian near

      I’d dream her grass skirt short …

and sheer.
