the orchestra tunes up with avian arias

With hair ablaze, a jester unconfined,
I scoffed at the mundane, its life declined.

All abouts the brightly lit
Woodlands
Your wonderful artistry behold!
Tinted bronzes,
Darting between awkward firs
Of sobering Evergreen,
Loiter inside mauve havens
Splashed with palest...

Premium Member Hypocrisy Democracy and the Seven Day Weekend
We have fences around homes...
locks on doors
bars across windows
video cameras-
