Tim Smith Poet Rhyme

Picking Pretty Flowers

Picking pretty flowers without any vase
matching painted stories to a perfect little face
empty out barrels full of apprehension and
crush the bits of dystopia lying underneath

Through hallowed halls hold on strong
fixate on skewed linen flows un-swirled
tinted in shades of blue and green
yell out side by side and be seen

You don't have to carry dusty records
or be a whisper in the breeze
take my hand anchoring our astral ceiling
and wander away with me


*Another poem inspired by a painting on my wall
