A Previously Published Poem

“Golden Intentions”

My road to hell is built

with would haves and could haves,

good intentions

twisting and turning

somewhere over the rainbow.

A well worn path

eroded by a flood of should haves;

whispering promises of redemption

beyond the yellow brick road,

past the poppies,

well beyond the emerald city.

surreal poetry
