Have You Ever Seen?

Day 12: Today's RWP prompt is about secret codes and unlikely messengers. Made me think of a little game I play sometimes to pass the time. Thanks so much to all who've made comments on my work--I'm not used to writing poetry every day and definitely not used to sharing it, so they're much appreciated!

Have You Ever Seen?

Flying blue poodles playing ukeleles

Leprechauns scaling redwood trees,

Fountain pens pirouetting atop wedding cakes,

An octopus riding a bike on the beach.

Cherubim opening stars with crystal keys,

Grape vines sprouting Rocquefort cheese,

Big-horned sheep bungee jumping from peaks,

Prufrock in blue jeans eating a peach.

Candles line dancing on confetti seas.

Wild geese drinking life to the lees.

Jasmine falling from malachite clouds,

The end of the rainbow just within reach.

Have you ever seen it?

Did you stop and stare?

Or were you too caught up in your reality

To even be aware.
