She paints doors on trees
And slips inside unseen, sly
Dryad or mad girl?

He stoops by the trash
Conversing with a broken
Television set

Trip to earth pending
Papier-mâché Goddess glues
Stars to her suitcase

Martian anemones
Grow underneath her mailbox
Presents from above

Tethered to the moon
By an inky ribbon, my
Unsteady head trips

She draws dragonflies
By her eyes, Venusian
Priestess, chasing flight

Submission was for
But alas I was too late! I have been insanely busy and this weekend probably won’t be much better *sigh*
Oh wow, SO good. I love the first one and this:
“Martian anemones
Grow underneath her mailbox”

“She paints doors on trees and slips inside unseen.” EASILY, hands down the FRICKIN’ coolest line I have read this whole week!! Wow. Could be a song. Spectacular imagery.
Oh wow thank you Ray! That is an amazing compliment =)
I read that with my mouth wide open (attracting flies) in awe. One of those “DAMN! Wish I wrote that” moments. You have a gift!
Oh wow I have always wanted to be on he giving end of such a beautiful moment lol Thank you so very much!!!!

Wonderfully done. I actually tripped over the last one. Marvelous 🙂
Thank you so much Celestine =)
This is an amazing piece. Wow. I want to write like this!
Oh thank you very much!
otherworldly images, daydreams, or are they just separate takes on reality; captured in snapshots of words and photocopied to my mind? Amazing stuff!
Oh wow Scott thank you!
