badger11 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 The multicultural queue has dwindled to two. A hearse, black and shiny, curb crawls close by, we know the driver's fare is far too high. Seemingly lost in a state of limbo, along comes an angel with a dark halo. With heavy sigh, a jug of special brew, our serpentine lady opens up a view: Adam and Eve riding a bicycle made for two. She tosses a pearl with a winning smile, we wish her well for many a quiet mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyv Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 The poem portrays a delicate balance, all quite tolerable until line five -- along comes an angel with a dark halo -- at which point it becomes downright disturbing. The threshold of the comfort zone has been crossed. Then, the poem continues in its previous playful manner. As is the case when playing with fire, there's precariousness throughout.

Tony Thanks Tony I was thinking of changing the title to the 'Restless Lovers' - what do you think? badge Hmmmm ... I wonder if it's necessary to include the adjective? I kind of like The Lovers or even just Lovers without the article. But, it's your creation. :D Tony Quote Here is a link to an index of my works on this site: tonyv's Member Archive topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
