Not all pumpkins are orange

PSYCHIC BITTERS

Did he describe the blue stripe again

unelected governor?

And from trees to hospitals, one story

perfectly formed suddenly entered into eternal rest.

They won't have any additional

waves around the hotel,

who won't have been here long enough

because somebody got the idea,

nor would a duck deal with holiday baking and the like.

John Ashbery              THE PARIS REVIEW  208, page 132.          (born July 28, 1927)

 Not all pumpkins are orange; not all poems are useful or even very interesting, except for the wonderment factor. But now you can try to write new poems. My suggested titles are:

The Blue Stripe

Holiday Baking and the Like

A Duck Deal

Additional Waves

One Story Perfectly Formed

Long Enough

I will try this. Send me your poems if you do.
