Perfect Albeit Perplexing: Today's Poem a la Carry On Tuesday

Have you ever been surprised by a poem?

 

This one shook itself open onto my page. I didn’t ask for it, I didn’t particularly want it but once it started rattling me with its relentless alliteration, I couldn’t help myself.

 

This poem nagged me more than my nine-year-old.

 

So, apologies before you read…. ^giggles^

 

(And sorry for mangling your prompt, Keith of “Carry on Tuesday” )

"This week our prompt is the first line of the

Freddie Mercury song Barcelona

I had a perfect dream"

Perfect Albeit Perplexing

 

I had a perfect dream

Primed as a posy on the vine, plump

and wanting to be picked

Pouting lips whisper "Pop me off!"

Perfection primed and plucked

 

I had a perplexing dream of purple

pancakes, dancing on my plate,

skirts rising and pantaloons perking

my son's prepubescent interest.

Pounce on the alarm. OFF!

Larry - sometimes poems become alive to me... well, most of the time, if they are any good they do... and some poems come alive after a few words are on the page. They say WRITE ME and BLOG ME and SPEAK ME ALOUD AT A PERFORMANCE to the point that I want to put my hands over my ears, like when my son repeats himself over and over again. Does that make sense?

i could imagine those blueberry pancakes...almost touching a purple shade....sweeping across an all white plate :) Nice one Julie!
