James Peranteau Poet Romanticism

Purty Poison

.

         why does the sylph
             inflame me so

        the symbols clashed
          within mine dome
         as she like the fairy
         flounced before me
  
                        i
         like the poet Daver
                  of yore
       heard the ambulance
           rush toward me
  
                   yesss
        mine heart clattered
 when the flower without skew 
              leaned over
                exposing
                    hern 
             purty poison

Elizabeth Wesley August 23, 2011 at 11:08 PM Great verse James but I guess it depends where it comes from. A palatable verse to intrigue the mind!

Carrie Richards May 2, 2011 at 12:04 PM Wow....would love to know the meaning behind this provocative, and interesting poem....it leaves me curious....but it is beautifully written and stirs the imagination!!

Carolyn Devonshire May 2, 2011 at 9:41 AM Dear James, the sweet poison is usually hidden. Was this a vision of death? Or a write about a woman? You know how easily I am confused. I didn't get your Soup mail, hon. The EKG is this afternoon and I'm hoping for a positive outcome. Love, Carolyn

Daver Austin May 2, 2011 at 6:51 AM Provokative? Actually this is the Ukranian spelling of the word. Didn't want you to think I am a total clutz. Love, daver James Peranteau June 1, 2021 at 8:04 PM I miss you my friend...if your r in heaven, don’t u worry, your friends here on the soup r not far behind....much love you blessed poet you, james

Daver Austin May 2, 2011 at 6:49 AM Beautiful poison indeed! Strange, but I was just counseled to call an ambulance in regard to my seeing double vision. This is not in reference to your "beautiful poison," howsomeever, there is more than one symbol going through my mind. Provokative indeed, Sir James. Love, daver
