A caravan, a naked girl,
A snake with just one eye,
An armful of rare orchids..
Tell me
Can a bullfrog fly?

A precious gem, a hurricane,
A cat that holds a tune,
I have another question now,
What time of day is June?

A lion with a jackdaw,
A boxer with a lamb,
And a jar of small catastrophies,
That tells me who I am.

A harlequin, a swimming pool,
A sun that never dies,
It's raining in my tea cup,
Tell me,
Can a bullfrog fly?

Me neither, the first line came from a dream, and the rest just followed, a cascade of words totally under their own steam!! Glad you like it :)

I love it too Elvira. It's great when the words are just there for their own sake rather than some deep symbolism. Art for Art's sake. Wonderful.

For some bizarre reason, this poem made me think of a Tarot deck.
