A word
A wisp
A cylinder
In which to view her frame
I wish
That I
Could fill in her
The wonder of your name
Can things that crawl
Be seen at all
By stars that dot the sky?
Will rain instead
Befall my head
On days when clouds roll by?
Could I have hope?
Should I have hope?
Can lions learn to fly?
Kaleidoscope,
Kaleidoscope,
Can wishes reach the sky?
My fingers twist
I strain my wrist
Her world's a safer place.
My thirsty eyes
Consume their prize
In sips of liquid grace.
But sheeee
Doesn't seeeee
Can things that crawl
Be seen at all
By stars that dot the sky?
Will rain instead
Befall my head
At times when clouds roll by?
Could I have hope?
Should I have hope?
Can lions learn to fly?
Kaleidoscope,
Kaleidoscope,
Can wishes reach the sky?
'Cause sheeee
Doesn't seeeee
And I'm falling, falling, falling
To the place my heart is calling
Where the world's a world of hunger
And the words are all appalling
Except
Kalei—
Kalei—
Kalei—
Kalei—
Kalei—
Kalei—
Kaleiiiii... doscope.
Kaleidoscope,
You bring me hope
Kaleidoscope, I'd die
If wishes just were wishes
If lions couldn't fly.

The fave game:
the imagery overall is amazing -
I love the imagery for this poem and the words form a great rhythm. In fact this would make a great song if done properly. All around good job!

I think this is pretty good but not as good as the last I read from you. But you definitely have a great deal of talent, and only an idiot would despute that. So all in all, not bad. - oce

amazing poetry
wow...
this is great... i love it.
nice work.
:-D -
This poem could easily become a song. You write with such passion and with such conviction that the emotion behind the words crashes onto the reader like sea waves. You descriptive ability is one of the best I've ever read and your poem says alot about whats inside your head.
Like the other commenter..
Kaleidoscope,
You bring me hope
Kaleidoscope, I'd die
If wishes just were wishes
If lions couldn't fly.
That was my favourite part. So powerful for all its shortness. This poem was just plain perfection.
Wonderful job!! -
How do you do it??
This is all amazing. Your combinations of very distinct ideas and symbols are affective and meaningful as always. I think you've asked questions that are worth asking and worth thinking about, which is one of ways poetry can be used to elevate life instead of merely reflecting it.
Kaleidoscope,
You bring me hope
Kaleidoscope, I'd die
If wishes just were wishes
If lions couldn't fly.
