Rengay: Smile

.










buenos dias
was all it took
silver capped teeth / jm

his designer jeans
the cutting edge / ws

pink bougainvillea
when the wind blows
on the fence / jm


screen savers
to fit any mood...
just that easy! / ws

cute little kittens
left in the trash / jm

windows
of the tenement
painted shut / ws


a rengay poem by
John Merryfield and William Sorlien

Hee-hee! Saved the butterflies in the next draft.

'the cutting edge' is such a great line... so much can be done leading from it.

bandit said...

'...kittens'; that's why I like writing with you.

Love that last verse willie!

Hey John, sounds like it's time for baja again!

I just realized we may have kannobiraki with 'screen savers' and 'windows'.

John, what if we switched L2 and L3of the 'pink bougainvillea' for a smoother phonic flow?

Don't want to change your intent, or emphasis, though, if that's the case.

John Merryfield said...

Yes, I'll switch L2 with L3... may flow better.
