Beautiful Mess




I drew poppies

With red O.P.I.

On the white window sill

And your messy hair

As you slept

Looked like crow's wings

Spread

Across impossible

Joyful

Fairy tales.

    I like to see things spread across impossible--makes it seem smaller. I almost have to go polish my nails now. (perfect 80's soundtrack as well.)

    The song rocked, can't figure out what/who it reminds me of, which makes me appreciate it even more. After Googling OPI red, thought the poem beautiful. Love the playfulness and optimistic tone.

    OPI Red - love those quirky names they have and it fits beautifully in your poem.

    Love the colors Shay
    Red black
    No fairytale here
    Well a noir one

    You always throw a dead ringer

    Hugs - moonless. (ok my iPad has a mind of it's own)

    a poignant picture in but few sweet words... "...like crow's wings/spread/across impossible/joyful/fairy tales." that says it all for me :)
