Elephants ran
	from the perilous sounds
the bakery overcooked the days bread
	winter tires
installed on the wheelchairs
	soldiers in a line to eat cakes
bread was in short supply
	monsters on break, or strike
clouds dipped to human eyes
	blinding all with hope
if a grave misses a few flowers?
	what does it matter?
chimneys have no smoke
	wineries have no grapes
lovers lost all grace
	when rain falls
words become wet
	like feet caressing the sand
I have a photo?
	would you understand?

to look into a picture, and the mind creates this poem, i'd say that is clever art at its best..

Lots of daily things that don't always capture our interest. Interesting verse Arthur. Tom.

Fascinating imagery art, am sure the snow tyres would be very handy for some, i especially like when rain falls words become wet... works the same way with tears:-) hugs Jan xx

All these comparisons and contradictions... And yeah, some winter tires would be wonderful :)

This poem has so many references to things that escape our consideration. Snow tires on wheel chairs (maybe they really ARE needed) and people being blinded by "hope"! (Wouldn't that be truly wonderful?) I absolutely love this, Arthur, and it's a fave for me!
