My humble entry into yet another great Poppy challenge. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else creates!
*
Accusations as big as bullet holes
Flashing lights at 2 a.m.
Saving pennies and tattered souls
Cursing love and other scams
*
Wounds fester underneath the skin
Busted wallets and give a damns
Hung-up where the real begins
Loving hard, out on the lamb
*
Embracing lessons from the scar
The scab is wearing thin
Content to pick and tear apart
Time and time again
*
Modern, makeshift therapy
Patchwork blistered on my heart
An array of gallimaufry
collaborating the spare-parts
*
I dream of shades of green
Adorned with fields of dandelions
Escaping the same old scene
Shielding echos of screaming sirens
*
I straddle above impact
Waiting for the other shoe to fall
Finding where the calm is stacked
Crafted like babushka dolls
*
A calm peaceful surrender
A compromise of amicable copy
To complete with such sweet splendor
A poem inspired by Poppy
