Cotton Clouds, Forget-Me-Not's.

By Aleas

Of begets, I begot
Cotton clouds, Forget-Me-Not's
Knighted skies, belated starts
And a love "...to be continued"

Peel the petals off the flower
And as lady luck would have her
Evened out at number seven
I loved her so, as I remember

With tethered wings spread several times
For several flights on heaven's ride
Where I believe she peeks and hides
In cotton clouds, Sunflare skies

While I plant Forget-Me-Lies.

She had me shot
Right from the start
For of begets, with love begot
Forget me here or now remember
She loved me so, or so I thought.

    Loved the rhythm of this work, and the flow, with the intentional agressive disruptions. In one word? BRAVO!
