Here Comes A Storm

Here Comes A Storm

A Poem by ROXANE DORSEY

gnawing a bone two dogs
alone sitting pretty as pink.
classy a lady to be sitting 
so pretty as that yellow bumble bee.
flying to fly jet planes that spacious 
sky does a kite whimsy by.
tails of bows yellow as that rose risen 
to that smiling skyline.

as of looking up way high to that 
vicious dark sky brewing a storm.
dancing a play get out the way 
that looks like hale coming fast as day.

Jump in a dumpster from spontaneous
monsters shape like balls.
Lil' rocks hit like bricks in a lickety
split.
Run like the wind honker down in an 
inn.

Nice riffing with some old-timey vocabulary thrown in. Second to last line, I would spell that: "lickety split" but I understand if you don't want to change it. You play with interesting imagery in an original way . . . Fondly, Margie

Between each phrase is a magical bars of music, different keys, different speed! Love the way you dance your words back to front at times, twist meanings, waltz from one scene to another.. creating a wondrous cacophony, complete with cymbals!
