... a 10 word challenge poem

The Wrinkled Pickles of Love

(A Surreal Fairy Tale)

The green wrinkled these pickles

and they wrap surreally

over my dream

of an abstract bottle

floating on a sapphire sea

carrying your lemon scented message;

an image painted of crooked fingers

pointing the pathway to creamy death.

Or, through dowsing magical waters 

and cleansing ourselves with sage,

we may succumb to these dreams,

alight on the runes of time

and float away

on sapphire seas of fantasy!

Isn’t this

sometimes

the way love feels?!

sapphire, dream, pickles, alight, dowsing, sage and fingers)

Sapphire seas of fantasy....ahhhh.....love that image. Not so sure about wrinkled pickles though the older I get, the more love seems wrinkled! I enjoyed this one a lot....magical fantasy. My crooked fingers are pointing at you and saying, "great work, Curt!" Just one thing though....can I have some of whatever you are taking? :) Lydi**
