I see trees of green
Red roses too..
I see skies of blue.
I see the secret side of you.
I see trees of green
Dutch elm disease
Red roses too.
I think to myself
You are so trees of green
They'll learn much more
Than I want to know
Red roses too
Red roses too.
Do you want to see where it hurts?
Skies of blue.
The dark blessed night
And I think to myself
Red roses dying
The dark sacred night
Trees of blue
The bright blessed day
The trees so few
The moon's a balloon, mum
The baby of the earth
For me and for you.
I see babies cry
They grow but to die
Red roses too
Say Good night sis
You know you have to
The colours of the rainbow
In a slick there on the sea
Friends shaking hands
Saying "how do you do"
They like their posts.
Red roses too.
Clouds of white
The whole f ucking rainbow
The dark sacred night
Trees of green
Commuter faces
Expressions lost
A rainbow needs HD
No matter the cost.
And love still exists
In the smallest smile
A rainbow in crayon
In the warm and fleeting
Moment of a hug.
And in red roses too.
And I think to myself....

What a wonderful world...

nicely executed.

Your poem just drew me in and left me, I dunno, almost hungry for more? There's a certain calm emanating from the lines, the repetitions, even the "meaner" sides of life, because poeticized, feel less mean and ugly. Very good poem, J.!
