True Blue [judd]
Don’t be deceived by the
Plain rusty crest
On the bluebird’s chest
When he flies he is all indigo
Azure lightning flashing
Gone faster than
Strawberry season
You want to catch
The blaze blue bird
Banking away from
Telephone line
Sear the image
On your mind’s palate
Beat it into your mind
With a memory mallet
You might as well
Grasp at a gasp
True beauty is rare
Offering itself in
Glimpses, glances
Second chances
Come to those who watch
And by first appearances
Are not fooled
something about this is very magnetic. I liked the whole thing from beginning to end. The ending stuck with me. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThere's a lot of fun alliteration in this. I liked the first stanza and the "True beauty is rare" one especially.
