[paint & picasa 3]
Patriotic Bag
fire engine rucksack
proudly hailed on her back
with true blue genes
lily white sports socks
broad stripes & bright
stars tote bag
in the crook of each arm
eyes blinkered
by book pages
as she gallantly streams
down the gutter in the road
oh say can you see
the gleaming American
dream
proudly hailed on her back
with true blue genes
lily white sports socks
broad stripes & bright
stars tote bag
in the crook of each arm
eyes blinkered
by book pages
as she gallantly streams
down the gutter in the road
oh say can you see
the gleaming American
dream
Merry Meet & Blessed Be
nice bit of social commentary in that short verse...and nice pic...

ReplyDeleteInto the gutter? Lowest common denominator. Makes for an interesting image in my mind.
