The Friday With the Crayon

No dear Make the date for the tea Friday at three For the moon will be At the windows At the wee hours And it will be the full moons We will pick up as much as we choose With the scarlet spoon Monday the sun is hot No room to look at the blooms Right and left a lot of the knots No freedom to consume The aroma of the kettle and teapot And ample warmth Fruitless will be the perfume So hungrily sought Make it on Friday, dear I will have the bouquet Wet with the dew Under the shade of the brown cashew Waiting Haikus Under the moons The globes of love We will bring it down from above Blend it with the doors to the stories Of the blue breeze and white cheese This Friday way We two The unbuttoned blue Tuesdays we stay too much buttoned Questioning and questioned The ears of rice and wheat flattened All the almonds dampened No point to meet With all the oceans discreet Nice will be the bay No bridle on Friday We will make the crochet As the full moons sway Opening the dizzy doorway To the interplay Into the next day too The lovely lingering blue No other work to attend to No socks no shoe All brakes broken In the Garden of Eden Both Wednesday and Thursday Too much to pay and repay So busy with our purse It is a rank commerce No eyes to see the dove Let alone the circle of love That will shine far above Beyond our reach Far off from the beach No stories to stitch together Just the toxic work The shoulder into the jerk No time My pen and your rhyme Won’t chime The Friday will come and open The gates of the jasmine garden No concern for the absolute tick tock In the mirror the exposed peacock Fulfillment of the golden wildfire The hillocks loving the playing lyre The next day is a holiday too Followed by the Sunday hue Here is a time of planting the tree In the festival of the artery On the happy Friday in the jasmine garden The day of moons and green lemons No full-stop Just comma and colon For the hundreds of flying herons With the pink crayon ______________________________________ February 26, 2018 Friday feeling - Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Silent One
