The Stained-Glass Evening Primrose Dream

Fallen

Behind the massive, immovable desk, a stained
glass evening primrose falls, shining yellow, small
sun, falls from the windowsill and disappears.
Irretrievable, I say, hoping I am wrong and you
will somehow rescue it.

But you won’t listen,
telling me instead, with the same enthusiasm
you have for beer and other women’s breasts,
that you have betrayed me with another woman.
When a primrose falls, it shatters.




Mary Stebbins Taitt
For Biker Buddy, from a dream!

Poem

Another one just finished for an old IF theme. This one is "poem".
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

zhm - POEM

"A peace from you plus a peace from me,
Equals pieces of us in harmony"

Searching for a simple poem about peace, i found something very cute ...PEACE POEM PAGE (http://www0.un.org/cyberschoolbus/peaceday/poem/) ; a page full of poems from school children from all over the world...the one written above is the one I tried to translate into my illustration...once again, it did not result as i wanted...but it's been difficult to find other pictures...

poem

Another illustration blog poses the challenge word of "poem" this week.

When I was very young, I had a huge book of poetry. It contained famous poems like Paul Revere's Ride and Hiawatha and Casey at the Bat. It also had many poems by Ogden Nash, a great American poet. Nash wrote humorous poems filled with puns. He is probably most famous for "Reflections On Ice-Breaking". But my favorite Ogden Nash poem is "The Panther"

The panther is like a leopard
Except it hasn't been peppered
Should you behold a panther's crouch
Prepare to say ouch
Better yet, if called by a panther
Don't anther.
