Title: The Silent Blue Menagerie
Post by Jeepgun on Jan 13^th, 2005, 12:28pm

The Silent Blue Menagerie

Walking alone one runny watercolored day
Through deserted aisles at the zoo
Sad, listless animals gazing out

Late night phone call still echoing
Like a pebble dropped down a deep well
Like the sound of her dreams (Hail! The Queen!)
Now crushed and vacant like an old fire

Exhibit Three!
Ferocious, Exotic Creature!
The bleeding colors of the placard
Love!
In shrieking red...

The creatures all gazing in
Wandering bonecold exiled and lost
Through the silent blue menagerie

-Frank H. Weeden

I think you came from another time Frank... that was so beautiful... I always want to ask what you were thinking about when I read your poetry... but I use my own imagination and find where it takes me thanks for sharing... Ree

Thank you, Ree. Thanks, everyone... This was written for my sister who, for reasons unknown, cut me completely out of her life, fifteen years ago. :-/

You got it, Cat14. I'm working on the project now, and hope to have it ready by the time the Dallas convention rolls around. :)
