Quill Bleeding Ink


Never have I used
such a word as quill
in my verbose verse,
even when bleeding
ink in nightmare night,
nor when tripping light
fantastic beyond 
fair golden sunsets;
O' come sail away,
O' come sail away,
O' come sail away
with me on the good
ship Lollipop where
bon-bons play on the 
beach of Peppermint
Bay, or a night trip~
we shall dream awhile
in pure purple prose.

I like this imaginative poem. I forgot Shutley Temple but she came to life in your verses. The picture is cute and a good match.
