Poetry post--John Gardner
Lovely, spooky, dark blue Gentian,
Inner walls like speckled snakeskin,
Trumpet shaped, fit for a small
Angel's grimly puckered lips
Set on the Last Day to call
Ants and bees to Apocalypse,
What sins too minute to mention
Wouldst thou bring to man's attention,
Lovely, spooky, dark blue Gentian?
