The Paint Movers Haiku

cracking and peeling
                                 
                                   the skin of cool walls crawling

                                             chameleons sigh

Jeff Connelly Date: 9/17/2019 7:41:00 AM An ageless haiku here Maureen. Weird I randomly picked this one to read. I was just thinking of growing older adaptability. Being the human chameleon we all want to be, I think. At least I do. I always think visually and I can surely see your imagery in this poem Maureen. (It also reminds me of living in Hawaii as a kid and loving to hear and see geckos in our house; while watching my Mum panicking lol.) Always thanks for the poetry Maureen.

Gotta get off the screen. Love this, thank you. xomo

Rhona Mcferran Date: 10/1/2018 1:31:00 PM I love picturing the texture of the walls, cracking and peeling as the chameleon crawls across... and the sigh was a lovely touch! Beautifully penned, my friend! ;) Login to Reply Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart Date: 10/1/2018 9:19:00 PM Thank you Rhona :) borne of a childhood memory, at a restaurant in Bermuda watching a wee lizard change colour to match the wall. xomo!
