Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

For 5x5x3 Poetry Contest sponsor Miranda Hawley

IF I WAS A POEM

If I was a poem
Would you red read me
Would I be brown formed
in your mind of mahogany
Would I be about peace

Would you read me often
Your voice free green softened
Or cold as old coffin
Like ice black lung coughing
Words within breast milk tossing

Would you feed me dreams
Calm cranberry blue black screams
That I may achieve esteem
Lavender life story fuchsia fantasy

Gershon Wolf April 21, 2025 at 7:08 PM If I were a poem, and you were a carpenter-lady, would you silver-hammer me into the nearest oak railing?... Colorful and creative write, methinks. Smiles, Gershon Karen Jones April 21, 2025 at 8:32 PM lol you are so funny Gershon! Thanks

Andrea Dietrich April 19, 2025 at 8:09 PM So colorful. That was a great idea to use the many colors to describe yourself as poetry Karen Jones April 19, 2025 at 8:27 PM Thanks! I really drew a blank as to how to approach this contests rules. I felt like I didn’t do enough!
