bur r rat tat burr

A Poem by Veronica Staehle

Onomatopoeia and imagery

"
Broom, vroom, zoom, 
bur r rat tat burr

I like the antiquity of sounds like these. 
How they remind me of plump dresses and red stained teeth. 

All the baroque celebrations, 
decadence in its decay, 

Its this huge hurrah and gallant saturation of pleasures and sins.

Well then... you're not just a pretty picture.

That's good raw writing. You're a poet I would say.

(red teeth come from red wine or raw meat)

i got some nice images from this. the 'decadence in its decay' was my favorite, i'm a sucker for cute alliterations. you have a different style than other poems that i've seen on here, and i like it. :)

This seems to have New Orleans written all over it. But that's just my mind wondering through those decadent and sinful places.

I like it.

Plump dresses and red stained teeth.

Reads like a Fourth of July parade re-animated.
