Come on In

Marine

drops

as

the

clouds

cry

dampening

our

skin,

chickening

our

flesh

as

we

seek

safety

in

tea

houses

and

cricket

shacks.

 

Those

oriental

snack

attacks

know

more

than

our

newer

generations.

 

In

any

case,

how

about

we

share.

 

Your

lichen

sustains

your

appetite

while

we

throw

candy

at

the

acolytes.

 

Either

way

there

is

the

power

of

scent

which

flips

us

into

Memory

Lane.

 

Incense,

candles,

perfume

and

cologne-

grape

ape

lessons

and

bubble

gum

Junes.

 

Magical

summers

full

of

love

and

redemption-

l'automne

and

l'hiver

have

arrived

once

more.

 

Expressions

and

creations

for

one

and

all

in

order

to

prove

the

war

will

fall.

 

Daughters

and

fathers

united

as

One

in

mathematics,

physics,

time,

love

and

chaw.

 

Tobaccy

may

be

the

special

crop

that

all

the

aliens

is

after

us.

 

Still

behind

they

leave

their

patterns-

lovely

lessons

in

shapes

and

oh

wait,

Saturn

even

has

rings

too-

perhaps

she

married

lucky

Jupiter.

 

Pluto

has

disappeared

on

us

but

my

concern

is

Mother

Earth.

 

Remember

orange-

the

navel

sacred-

where

your

Ma

granted

you

the

gift

of

life

and

promised

to

love

you

no

matter

what.

 

Mind

yourself

and

your

manners-

give

her

artworks

and

scented

flowers.

 

Each

of

these

will

remind

her

still

that

she

birthed

you

to

this

planet.

 

Wills

are

great

if

you

don't

last-

but

longevity

exists

when

you

have

a

blast-

living

and

loving

and

promising

help

to

all

of

those

less

fortunate.

 

Some

may

say

I

am

one

of

those

except

I

gave

birth

to

a

little

toad-

he

hops

and

sings

and

dances

a

tune-

the

Stray

Cat

Strut

and

the

Science

loon.

 

So

either

way-

I

can

spell

Blood

in

my

magic

wax

pot.

 

Sienna,

Cream,

White,

Red

or

Green

it

still

smells

Divine-

so

Come

on

In!

 

 

Reviews

This is really something! I love the single words, each on their own line, like a spontaneous and random brainstorm coming together to form phrases of deep description - even the nonsense phrases form gorgeous images. This is great. It has a real feel to it. i'm adding this one to my library

Thanks for the read

All I can say about this at the moment is I found it interesting... which is definitely good. I really liked your use of language. I think I am going to have to read it a few more times to let the words sink in. Nice one. NH
