Mess

Mess

this morning's burst

flavor of the day

the color of words 

ingested, congested

configured, refigured

go figure

they just sounded good to me

so much so

I asked for two scoops

some spilled

off of the poems

but I brought a napkin just in case

and even that had writing on it.

Pour on some warm milk and make it a hot mess. What does a Thesaurus have for breakfast? A synonym roll. Okay, with that, I will hang my head and slink away. Loved your poem. F.

You know a poem is good when it makes you laugh out loud when nobody's around. I think the color of your words might be constipated and regurgitated. Love the idea of overflowing words caught in a napkin to live in the next old idea. Maybe some toppings to top the tip of your pen.

I'll just have to start at the top and go down the page trying to keep up.

Tried writing on a napkin. Silly thing tore on the first pen stroke. And yes, crumbs of rhyme tend to litter the space I inhabit. Messy, aren't we?😄
Of course, art is not neat by nature. In our case, ink smudges from defective pens, eraser marks, coffee stains are all hazards of the trade.
Nicely written, J.
