Blue venom
On designer bloom

Ah! Now I now where 'hoodlums' come from! (Just kidding, of course)… Interesting how hoods can intimidate, be they on men or snakes!! Nice (inverted) haiku / free verse (I forgot) ~ Gershon

Thank you for coming across the enjoying hoodlums (in the company of the designer blooms) ... you have said so nicely ... this is my reward ...

I am imagining this is metaphorical from your comments I see to the other two poets here, but I do not know what the designer bloom is. A flower?

Yes, literally a designer flower! ... I am afraid the symbol has become a little private ... or else the venomous snake should have snatched a place among the winners ... which all such serpents do ... Thank you for showing the interest ...
