second poetry challenge - “what is the taste of blue?”

Miles Runs The Blue Do Down

Blue tastes of
old copper soured with salt
black in lack of sun for fun
old time crackers
blue-bound barrels
bloodhound bred
for bit bitter bayou
or adieu
blue tastes what blue wants
like blues in the light
in lack of light
gods imbue
gluon muse
black hole blues
scoured screws
cleaning clues
all
taste of blue
and blue of you

third challenge - “bright red”

Red Light

Many colors are subdued
like blue
Red is bright
intelligent
perceptive
perceivable
Better red than dead

the challenge “freedom” leaves too big a hole in my head. kristofferson says “freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose,” so maybe it’s freedom the CheneyBush Beast is giving us as they take all our rights away while we play “Freedom of Choice…”

“In ancient rome / There was a poem / About a dog / Who found two bones /
He picked at one / He licked the other / He went in circles / He dropped dead”

- Devo - Freedom Of Choice - Songwriters: G. Casale, Mark Mothersbaugh
