One Single Impression - Carnival


the blunderbuss exploded
into the fresh Spring              
day followed by cannons
church bells announcing
the joy and exuberance of the season
while costumed revelers paraded
through town singing hymns
ditties loud lavish lusty
steins overflowing with ale
running down chins pinking 
cheeks flushed full of rosy red apples
laughter kisses hugs
good cheer ringing in
anticipate of all possibilities




Write a poem on this week’s theme.




Merry Meet and Blessed Be

  6. Blunderbuss is a wonderful word, and a hard act to follow in and of itself, but you definitely pulled it off! Wonderful momentum in this piece.

    Your OSI is global today, mine gets personal.

    Your header today, Arnold Glasow--did you know that in his time people were just beyond the belief that people could self destruct by spontaneous combustion?
    Now, his time, it had become humerous.
