Blue

Thomas W Case

I've been to the crushing
place.
It smells of death, and
spider mums.
Daisy chains dropped,
when the music died.
The lake is murky now.
Clowns roam the street,
looking for carnivals
and meat.
Silly boys still believe
in love and dreams, and
girls that like opera and
giving head.
This world is strange, and
Picasso walks the lonely
avenues, feeding
seagulls' peanuts and paint.
No one blames him.
It's his blue period.
All the while,
an old bent man plays
the guitar.
He smells like camels,
and hope.

    A poem of loneliness and despair with scenes depicting that, and at the end a ray of hope. Even "Picasso" gets a walk on. Very graphic, yet concise. Loved it. - Phil A.

      there is nothing quite like the smell of hope is there ..
