Vapor Trail Dreams From Paper Airplanes

Do you see what I see that’s not my line either                                                                                                                    
It maybe the reality foaming from the ether
I am glad you’re not in mine for your sakes
The picture is not good like fire and stakes
but for the title I will fly this error plane
as the colorful streams flow into the beams
of pure delight I write to enter yours it seems
just behind the color lies the unknown
as the subtle webbing begins to be flown
A back flip and a quick trip to the grocery store
Your mind is spinning uncontrollably in yore
and when at last you find the door it rescinds
and the color fades as haze to your chagrins
as vapor in the wind a kamikaze descends
A bomb with your name on your lap me friends

How different all the entries are for this contest John. You did very well. I am sure at this very moment poor Daniel is pulling his hair out trying to decide on his winning list. ; )

Thanks, Connie. yes, I am sure. He has a lot of different themes and forms to choose from. I really don't like using other people's words or titles but I had fun writing it.
