Grey turns blood red

Astray by what's said

Led

down a pathway

Bled

as a segue

A talking point

A sweet peppermint

Dry my eyes, Dry thee lochs

Salivate then celebrate.c

elebrate then defecate.d

efecate then rumunate.r

umunate then pontificate.s

ound chimes the endmound

climbs the bend

where will we be in timewhen what we need...chime

*

Thanks for reading!

    I have to agree with Gina, this poem tasted of peppermint and sounded Scottish

    Dreamy and so well done. The line with the sweet peppermint left me with a feeling like I could taste this poem that carried all the way through!

    That digital sofa is HUGE! And still you find more than small pieces of poetical popcorn covered in fluff. How do you do it?

    And now your dabbling in surrealism. How on earth am I supposed to keep up with you, Paul?! The only useful thing I have to say is that Pontificate is the verbal form of defecate. That makes it funny, but somehow I don't think that's the point. What was I talking about? 😏
