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.

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. There are some great lines and images in this poem Richard.
