The Color of Murder!

The Color of Murder!

A Poem by Thomas Fitzgerald
"

An act so vile that rainbows scatter.

"
Spines that shiver in minds of old,
Gasping spinsters times have told,
Of little men the color of green,
Hidden by walls not to be seen,
Harvest the blood they call to me,
Take the drops of red is the fee,
Cast the amber sun to stop fast,
Murky waters a grave in the past,
Ignorant fellows lay down in cotton,
Thoughts hollow black and all rotten,
Death the gift that comes willing and able,
Remember dear ones this is no fable.

Gee
Love the easy flow and rhyming of this, but, have not a clue to its meaning, if at all there is one. You obviously listened more than you talked at school.

Well I certainly tried, thank you for the review x
And yet, quite fable like and that is why I love it, a strong undertone of mystery yet modernity entwined, brilliant :)

Foreboding ominous words here. "Lay down in cotton"....perhaps in a coffin? Not sure, but I do know these are powerful words written with flawless rhyme. Lydi**
