Hats off to the 60s: December 2015 Collage Poem

entry picture

Risky potential in another file

Back row snog leads to a smoke

 

Down on the couch with my

Ticket to ride

Carrying yesterday second hand

Across finer memories across leafy roads

 

And cherish the richest poor child,

Wellies, winkle-pickers, sinking mud.

 

And Mary pondered these

Things in her heart –

Women are smiles. Love wears wellies.

Telephones are sexy. Children are dead.

 

A babe in arms, softly smoothed and cradled.

this is great!

Women are smiles. Love wears wellies.

Telephones are sexy. Children are dead.

this is just my kind of poem. seemingly unlinked lines taken from various places then placed delicately to extract a tenuous (should that be subtle) overall link.

great stuff.

Wow... the last collage poem of the year was certainly a good one.
