    SAY WHAT?

     RIDING WAVES OF LICORICE
     INTO A CLOUD OF SASSAFRAS
    SINGING SONGS OF NEVERMORE
     WHILE WAITING ON THE TENDERNESS
    I SEE A CLOWN IN YELLOW  JEANS
     ON A GROUP OF SILVER SCREENS
    DANCING TO THE FIRES FLAME
    WHILE PLAYING A SILLY CHILDRENS GAME
    I LAUGH AND SAY I'M HERE TO STAY
     SO COME ON AND SEIZE THE DAY.

    THINGS ARE NOT AS THEY SEEM 
    THE SPEAKERS BEGIN TO SCREAM
    LOOK OUT FOR THE FALLING RAIN
     BEFORE YOU WASH DOWN THE DRAIN.

    COLORS FALLING FAST AND SLOW
    THE GREENS AND BLUES OH THEY GLOW
    CATAPILLARS CRAWLING BY
    TURNING INTO BUTTERFLIES

    THE BIRDS ARE SINGING LULLABYES
    REFLECTING RAINBOWS IN THEIR EYES
    COOL BREEZES CARRESS THE SKIN
    MAKE YOU FEEL ALIVE AGAIN

    THE TREES ENTWINE IN LOVES EMBRACE
    AND DANCE SHOWING EVERY GRACE
    AS RABBITS LAUGH AND SING THE TOON
    WE WATCH THE LOVE BIRDS SWOON AND SWOON

    THE GENTLE RAIN BEATS OUT THE CHORD
    SURELY WRITTEN BY THE LORD
    TO GIVE US PEACE AND ALL THE BEST
    WHEN IT'S OVER THEY WILL REST

    HUSH BEFALLS THE SUMMER NIGHT
    AND EVERYTHING IS PUT TO RIGHT
    WE DRIFT OFF INTO A SLUMBER STATE
    DREAM ABOUT TOMORROWS FATE

    SAFE AGAIN IN YOUR BED
    REMEMDERING WHAT HE HAD SAID
    I WILL WATCH OVER YOU FORTHWRIGHT
    TILL THE DAWNS FIRST SIGHT.

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.

    Morris’s Poems (64)
