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?
