full color posters span the room.
exotic islands extending
a promise of paradise
persuasive
whispy fronds
sandy waves
golden umbrellas of sun
and moonlight
the waters,
and wine, sparkling
with an infectious splashing jubilance
reclaimed colonial remnents,
spruced and gussied,
are re-animated on slick penny posts
dosed with salcious slogans,
and taunting, boastful
salutations
charming enticements,
sanitized in white,
safe for all consuming pleasures
but, on the lee,
dark left-overs
the other
unseen
untold
the promise,
long gone
cold

I am so surprised no one has commented on this one yet I really loved it, I like how you see the underbelly of life, you see the beauty but you also see what lays beneath.. and you put it so well into words
another wonderful poem its always a pleasure

...and it is always a pleasure to hear from you!
poetry, even light , or silly verse, needs to be layered...somewhat, or it will be as bland as unsalted soup!
thanks again
