yellow journalism

you laced
nihilism
through the air, threading moon
up -- under proverbial trees
the comedy of clouds
a bird's eye view
from where

he made
photography
-- the bullets through apples
negatives pale under pressure
frame polaroid thought like
perforated
smiles.

Author notes

narcissus at oasis

a bunch of cinquains linked together and fluctuating.

"i do not suffer fools gladly" -- makes me think of exaggeration of the press and thus, yellow journalism.

    I'm excited.. Oh yeah and this was a really good poem, again. I have this contest going on.. Teen Idol.
    I think you could do very well in it.
    Why didn't I ever see or read any of your poems before?

    You're really good!

    I'll be sending you a link in a minute.

    Amazing, I love your train of thought. Descriptions are simply out of this world.

    "nihilism" - what a powerful word
