The circus band plays "The Colour of Your Dress"
The host throws quotes from "Dreams You Forget"
Your ice-cream melts in a blissful mess.
A magician calls out and you say yes
And he shows you the trick of "The Invisible Pet".
The circus band plays "The Colour of Your Dress".
A stallion jumps over shadows of chess
A roaring tiger rips out your regret
Your ice-cream melts in a blissful mess.
An old fiddler sings "To the Devil I Confess"
With one good eye blinking red and wet.
The circus band plays "The Colour of Your Dress".
A clown imitates your kind distress
And trades your kiss for a potion of sweat.
Your ice-cream melts in a blissful mess.
You try to love it even just a bit less
But the host insists it is not over yet.
The circus band plays "The Colour of Your Dress"
Your ice-cream melts in a blissful mess.

I have a little more time to write this month, so I've decided to tackle the poetry litmas (and a few more contests
 and this week's workshop). I feel this is a somewhat demanding challenge - using many decisive criteria - but, fortunately, I have done my poetry homework this year  thanks to the good people of the *Writers-Workshop and to Villanelle expert =Mattiello.Personally, I still don't like formal poetry (sorry Aditi  ) but I must agree that it is a good exercise. Ultimately, it is easier to write than free verse.You can also listen to this poem at the Dangers of Poetry podcast. Comments
 umm... I'm not really one to talk about repetetive stuff, but maybe the line "your ice-cream melts in a blissful mess" could be used a little less? It's like the really awesome song on the radio that gets played just one time too many.
I really like it anyway! -- "Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to" ~crystalcollecter "I reject your reality and substitute my own!!!"--[link] "I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)." -e.e. cummings yeah, no problem!
-- "Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to" ~crystalcollecter "I reject your reality and substitute my own!!!"--[link] "I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)." -e.e. cummings I didn't know that, thanks!
-- "Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you're up to" ~crystalcollecter "I reject your reality and substitute my own!!!"--[link] "I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)." -e.e. cummings  I HATE writing this kind of poem, so I give you uber props on it. (What a literary sentence I've just created.) Anywho, congrats on the second place. Well deserved.
Which calendar ya pickin'? Uh, I think i picked some one with black and white photos I forget the name of. lol.
