dVerse Poets – Poetry Form – The Minute Poem
“People should fall in love with their eyes closed.” Andy Warhol
That Smile We aimed for bright turquoise roundels, where nothing quells love's long river, ever giver We found instead a yellowed sun below such fun of full embrace revving the pace Here nothing ever remains square your wink my dare, your gummy smile I run a mile Copyright 2022 ©Paul Vincent Cannon All Rights Reserved ®
