Swirls Of Marmalade Poem by Jennifer Colyne Hall

Swirls Of Marmalade

Rating: 4.5


My eyes closed tight

Spinning, falling

Pitch black

My nose deceives me

Heavenly scents

Lash out at my nose

A glowing light

Struggling to expose my eyes

Slowly, slowly

Time almost seems to stop

No worries

No fears

My eyes was fixed on the flavor surrounding me

Swirls of orange marmalade all around me

Endless miles

I stuck out my finger

Oh, it tasted as good as it smelled

Nothing mattered much at all

It feels like a pipe dream

A fantastic abstraction

Release me from reality

A strange way of thinking

Keep me forever

I've fallen.....

In love with the sinful influence of marmalade

A wonderful depiction! The title is eye catching. 'It feels like a pipe dream A fantastic abstraction Release me from reality A strange way of thinking Keep me forever I've fallen..... In love with the sinful influence of marmalade' These spiralling thoughts make us too, 'spinning, falling'!

i just read the poet note AFTER i had decided to send this definition of pipe dream (copied from internet) to you. little did i know i could be correct, even though i was sort of kidding (planning to be) . Origin of PIPE DREAM from the fantasies brought about by the smoking of opium First Known Use: 1896 i seem to remember an illustration in A in W of a creature (a caterpillar?) smoking from a hookah (never tried one myself) . and i think i recall hearing that L.C. did write 'under the influence'. thanks for the note and LC thanks you for the mention. i especially enjoyed: My nose deceives me Heavenly scents Lash out at my nose and: Endless miles ...........thanks for sharing. you can come down now. :)
