Poem for Pie

I put on the blue mask and I saw

A flamboyant fluttering blue butterfly,

The Pacific Ocean causing tidal waves

And the blue coats in the cloakroom having a tea party. 

 

I put on the orange mask and I saw

The Eye Of Sauron staring down at me,

A tangerine peeling itself

And a million sunsets flickering.

 

I put on the dark mask and I saw

A thousand shadows preparing to pounce,

A menacing thunder cloud rumbling

And a undead zombie growling.

 

I put on the pink mask and saw 

A unicorn prancing in the clouds,

A cherry blossom tree blooming 

And a peony swaying in the wind.

 

I put on the green mask and I saw

An oak tree towering,

A peppermint dancing on my tongue

And maple leaves in mid summer.

 

I put on the red mask and I saw

A towering volcano spewing lava,

Red blood dripping out of a bad wound

And a fire dragon terrorising a small ancient village.

 

I put on the yellow mask and I saw

The vicious sun causing a drought,

A sliver of a lemon causing me to gurn

And a daffodil keeping secrets.

 

I put on the Rainbow mask and saw

The end of the rainbow,

A trail of all colour butterflies

And the sun shining on a smidge of oil.
