Somewhere amidst the bluegrass field,
A small child’s white dress
With two buttons instead of a ribbon’s braid
Tossed itself across small blades with finesse.
The Sunday dress landed on petrified wood;
A post, standing in a tuft of green grass.
It’s waiting for an arm so it won’t be misunderstood.
Then Braylee with curling cockleburs made her a lass.
Now she watches Poe’s black crow
Standing atop a jibing white brolly
Where he was trying to stow
Away a mouthful of broccoli.
When the crow flew away without so much as a splinter,
She squiggled in dance with her funny looking scarecrow.

apples lie in a wooded womb,
centuries old its heart, where a woman walked
evening away eating octopus as beef.
gruff, shaking hands reached for the snail’s borough
inadvertently spinning moon and sun before the taj.
kempt hornet’s nest smoked out by the indian fell,
much like ice cream with cherries, while the man
operating his pipe wilted a flower into a honey pot trap.
quietly he walked along the porcupine grass at wood’s rear
stopping before a poodle chasing a butterfly with its snout.
until the mouse’s teeth like a lion’s became a shiv
waxing his leg did he become a pole jumper, a funny xerox.
yapping from downward facing dog his outstretched arms felt the dance of a hornet’s buzz.
I wrote this poem using 21 images that came to mind after viewing the above picture. I incorporated them into an ABC poem where each line starts with a letter of the alphabet and ends with the next. For example, my first line starts with a and ends with b. The second line starts with c and ends with d. And, so goes the pattern to the end. Hope you enjoy.
