Where Dandelions Roar MAG
Virginia, stop sinking –
take those rocks from your pockets
and step away from the river.
Let's catch a ride, you and I,
to the place where dandelions roar;
where the alley-cat boys
use their cherry-red lighters
to ignite the stars,
inspired by fireflies
brighter than the sun.
What's your rush, Virginia?
Heaven may be nice
but it may not be there at all
and death is on its way
but Virginia, I'm here now,
and I'll give you some deliverance
à la I-75,
no Sunday dress required.
Think about it, Virginia:
you could drown in your sorrows, or
take a dip in the honey pot with me
but either way, Virginia,
promise me
you'll keep trying to swim.

This is so good! I especially love the first paragraph, very creative and imaginative. This should definately be printed in the magasine! If it isn't I'll be really disapointted because I've seen a lot of poems in there that aren't half as good as this. There is a lot of meaning in this and it's very powerful. Great Job.
Please check out mine? :)
