Fabricating Trees and Things

Fabricating Trees and Things 

May God bless your heart 
with harmony tones
Let the rusting rain refrain of grief 
fly away in the wind

Yours is a greater chore
a glorious alchemy
Welcome your garden guests!
This will be no party for pity.
No one should be locked inside.
Put away that unholy cell phone...
Pain’s penmanship, 
will not crush our appetite.

You say “ Take the leap into my heart.”
After all sharing poetry is about being close,
a transfusion of sorts
We are the carnivorous beasts.
Our appetite revealed,
as we destroy creation.
Us who are a single sifted grain of sand.

Much is revealed by Kindergarten Philosophy,
yet we choose to stay forever old.
Witness our director’s cut and paste, 
fabricating a tree in a forest 
Will you be on the outlook
for you,  me, and Candy?
So we can escape winter’s endless night.


I dismembered your tongue twister,
hoping you might take the leap into my heart.
I watch as your memories resurface
You are polite and compliment my longing
Still my ordering of words cannot redo you
You say “These strands, they hold me together.”
I see your purple longing
and feel the immeasurable impact.
I guess there can be no proper goodbye.


I fabricated this piece from Juliet Ligon’s poem titles. 
I hope you enjoy the end result.

Please look up Juliet as she can make Romeo blush.

Jeff Connelly Date: 9/18/2019 6:20:00 PM Richard thank you for this, but you should have left out where some of these lines came from. Found ART is a true art form, so no explanation is needed.
