Surreality
whirling, twirling, swirling clouds in a liquid sky
mother says be careful dear, have some tulip pie
mongrels, thieves and vagrants dream of life beyond the sun
daddy says he's coming home cuz war was too much fun
cats and dogs and lizard things are raining all around
grandma's flying toward the moon and won't stay on the ground
truthful lies and purple skies, chaos at my door
dragon kings and pigs with wings search for evermore
comets crashing, sinners flee as rivers turn blood red
candy canes and chocolate drops, everyone is dead
dreams and schemes and vision quests, reality's a blur
am I sleeping or awake, wish I could be sure
* This one won first place in a poetry contest at the local library some years ago
