Leaving
Empty vases,
hold all my hopes
With funereal glee
And memories of wildflower days,
Echo,
Sword-like from the
dark corners of my garden…
wielding only enough choice,
to keep the fatal snakes away.
With bullfighter florish,
Barbaric thorns remind me
i can still Bleed,
Even when
i cannot feel the wounds.
Never again can
roses and daisies
Pretend to be my friends.
Instead,
A leaf-less Chorus of Trees
piercing the skies,
Speaks for me now.
I'll settle for the bronze....

I'll settle for the bronze
Leaving empty glasses
You're in the wrong poem
But your poem is much better than George's
Better not say cheers
Kind regards

I Feel So Misunderstood!
Okay, got that out of my system.
The reference to the "bronze" in my poem was regarding elazar's (self-proclaimed) pity party in which he gave himself the "gold."
I was and am not 'competing' with anyone poetically. It was just supposed to be a third in the 'pity party' genre. And 'funny' in that sense. It was a poem a wrote a couple of years ago and is a pity party type, hence i posted it in response to elazar.
It sounds like you thought i was inferring something else. A slight against Georges maybe? And that is just not the case.
cheerio, L

Well Georges, thanks. "Pitiful" poems can be nothing but a drag...but i'm pretty happy (how's that for a contradition!?) with how this thing turned out. And Boy are you an astute judge of character or what?!!?? A lovely person? That is Exactly what i am when i am not being a cynical cretin or whining poet. Salut, Laurie

Where are my manners, George and I have not invited you for a cyber dring at the Leonard Cohen Poetry Arms, but the downside is we do have a standing agenda and the service is very poor here.
The location is quite near your present site address.
Now I can say cheers

Well, thanks for the invite. Very kind of you.
The standing agenda part is a bit too intimidating, though.
Bad service? I can live with that. I serve myself badly much of the time.
Now where did i set that breakfast of champions...my bloody mary, ahh, here it is....(a granola bar in lieu of celery does the trick). Salut, Laurie
