blue bottle fly

blue bottle fly
chillin' on a screen
watches a child in a sailor's cap
scampering quickly by

following on his heels
his dog named spike
wearing a gilded collar
cost half a dollar bill

father is a barkeep
he keeps a good bar
banks half his money
he'll go far

blue bottle fly
catches a scent on the breeze
skunk cabbage and goldenrod
its bee's knees

spike begins to bark
the child has fallen down
wailin' like the dickens
in the afternoon sun

blue bottle fly
buzzes loudly to the throng
like he was a tenor
belting out his song

father comes a runnin'
the barflies help themselves
the child gets cradled tightly
spike then hushes down

blue bottle fly
lits high up in the air
red eyes scoping out the countryside
pheromones signaling kith and kin

“Dust storm” is a kind of gray.
Some say it might be pink,
But when it’s blowing fast my way
I don’t attempt to blink.

[Pompey Bum]

Illusion is a color
By confusion rendered duller
If in or out of fashion
Peel off the dress
I'd be impressed
By skin and eye and passion

Next: Feldgrau

[tailor STATELY]

family lore

immaculate starched feldgrau.
polished blackboots.
stark contrast to the distant
theatre behind lines drawn
by men of little sanity.

feuer! an officer barks.
a cannon deafeningly reports.
another.
the dogs of war unleashed.
indiscriminate.
yellow shells reach apogee.

entrenched, cousin 'arry counts
beneath his breath.
mud and comrades' blood stain
his greatcoat. then.
concussion rips off his mask.
a quick gasp of intake.
frantic scrabble. mask!

in a fugue 'arry sees the sherry
coloured gas slowly settle. mask!

'arry somehow survives long enough
to be transported home.

family lore.

the war to end all wars.

thank heavens.

A purple fit to shine a queen
Or king in softer light,
To dignify with dreams unseen
As patience hides what’s rough and mean,
To bloom as day grows bright.

A Celestial Embodiment 1: A Faith

Lightsome as a sea of celadon

Immutable hearts each paragon

Beings endowed by their Creator

Effulgent countenances greater

Rays celestial embodiment all

United purpose answer the call

Majestic spirits; sweet orison

Snow White would likely want one, too,
Sweet with red that’s shiny, new.

Android is green; bilious too
a mobile OS both lean and true
My Kindle (Fire) has a fork -
worthy of Guðmundsdóttir, Björk !
Why n92762 ?

Icy white with green and blue,
But paler, not as bright a hue
And wonderful like Alice who
Enjoyed it once as we do, too.

Next Color: Desert Sand

[YesNo]

White with little life and gray,
My intuition’s mocking me
And leading me astray.
A lover lost in play,
My mind leads me away
To anywhere and carelessly.


Next: Amaranth Red

[slipee]

Felled of a faux hue, bled of a ruse
outnumbered welts tell belt's been amused
Supple and soft swells; the welling within
burgundy swirls, striped amaranth skin

Twisting it tightly, watch and you'll learn
glistening brassieres taken to turn
Seas lined in soap suds, scourers awry
pitchforks and bayonets; even supply

Whites framed in pink; scalded and true
new elbow tried against old residue
Wet pants, nicknames, low hourly rates
black on your future; red on your face



Next: Amarillo

[TRIGGERSIDEWYS]

creative eyes will rise with it's differences
differences to ingrain

showing light Amarillo
Amarillo as cooperation goes

Self reflect to over collapse
ideas won't give dabs of anything

go through editions if aloud
ingrain going


next: parakeet

[YesNo]

The colors of the parakeet
Will vary like a wheel
That spins around through sour, sweet,
Through any way you feel.
