Traces of Trio

For the Real Toads Sunday Mini Challenge....I can handle three lines...lol, maybe not well, so be easy on me.


Playing Misty

She was a precious vapor trail
Too light to love completely
But I did, evenly and without remorse


Havoc

Acting on insider information
I ate whatever was left of your tortured life
And created fields of violent red poppies


Aspen

In aspen the women shop in furs
And curse the tourists face
While pocketing their blood, sweat and tears

  1. The idea contained in each of your tristichs is a potent one.

    The first reminds me of the song (I haven't heard in years) and it holds your delicate blend of romance and sorrow.
    The second is my favourite: hard-hitting, gorgeous imagery - each line is just perfect.
    And the third says so much about snobbery in so few words.

    Brilliant. I so enjoyed them.

  2. Beautiful and striking descriptions in each make these short poems overflow with nuance and real emotions--just exceptionally creative and vivid work, Corey. I also found the second to be hardest hitting, but the first is my favorite for its sweetness.

  9. Ah, Misty! Horror movie extraordinaire. So nice to have no remorse. Havoc, I take it, is a flesh-eating monster? I'm blown away when they birth flowers! I've never visited Aspen, but here the outdoors are better than the stores, anyway. What fun these images are.
