Don't Offer Roses

 

I won’t be unhappy again

what does a rose mean to you?

Sly and second-sighted 

When it shifted  

drop their shells dry

and

glistens at times ,how cheap 

 

first taste umbrella of bards

breading stunners ,writing in some kind of vernacular : 

study the wedding photos, fake the heat they do easy 

be stuck with what scholars say

speedy replacement of the sling  ginger head

unavoidable withdrawl 

 

Forking  puns in succession, the engine nearly

drowned. Fun died meekly then   

flying bark, a mad Madonna numb to her toes

sat contemplating these landmarks, lights supple work?

 

A seesaw spreads the fumes in every direction

sorted novelties fleeting and backward 

field guide sold with illustration stamps the buzz

 

Hate for jewels in like

change the name,

Everyone would know.
