Poetry Blog Slam: Colors

Welcome to the 12th installment of Naturally Alise’s Blog Poetry Slam…. so the rules are the same as every week:

I will present a word/theme AND picture. In the comments write a poem (no matter how short or long, serious or silly) that:


Uses or relates to the word or theme
OR
Relates to one of the pictures

Isn’t that simple!?!? After the word and picture will be an old poem of mine for an example of what to do. I will write a new piece in the comments along with you guys!

*COLORS*

audio:

“Love at first sight…..”

I walked in and you caught my eye
It was as if your divine beauty relentlessly pursued my optic nerve just to give you a second glance.

My heart skipped a beat…
Your hip hop track of life infiltrated my stone cold heart’s chamber music, and all I could do was try to stay on beat…

You had flown, soared, aviated, ascended, rose, scaled, and climbed to the apex of my sparked interest…

I swear when you spoke you sparked such a pyrotechnic display of smoldering sultriness, that I couldn’t help but sweat you…

I wanted your digits….to figure out the derivative of your good nature, be around to witness the product of your multiplicity of goals, and see how they all add up to make your total package.

I wanted you to do me like poetry, me the paper… and you: the apparatus for the documentation of my inspiration, your ink filling my soul’s empty page….

Oh yeah, nice to meet you……

Can I borrow some of your time,
Just pencil me in,
Actually erase that, ink me in.
So I can see what flows freely from your fountain pen

Color me tickled pink with your mind’s magnificent marker
No need to stay in the lines…
I like surprises on my soul’s empty page

I long to live vicariously through your ballpoint,
So I can trace what lies within you.
Assist in the manifestation of your dreams…
Witness the culmination of your passion.
As you satiate my souls empty page.

downers

a confused heart
that just gives up.
love is a speedball.

drugs are bad.

*FRUIT*

Buried thinking of berries in my inbox…
Sweet nectar waiting to be unearthed from fertile pages.
Creative nutrients that joined with lifeless soil to reveal juicy goodness…
My chocolate kisses envelope strawberries offering a special treat
And playful, silly raspberries invoke smiles and giggles
Temporarily easing the bog of cranberry bitterness of this world that can’t be chased away with vodka….

*Your Turn! *

I will present a word/theme AND picture. In the comments write a poem (no matter how short or long, serious or silly) that:

FACE

…… but that means you can write about eyes, lips, cheeks, fiveforeheads, ears, skin, etc…… (I chose lips)

You are definitely a smooth criminal, but I’m not telling….

Pillager of pecks and puckers

Marauder of magical mouth to mouth moments

Sweet stolen smooches…. lip to lip larceny

Kisses are the the best ill-gotten gain

….and require accomplices

Can I be your partner in crime?….

YOUR TURN!
