Parallel Universe (A Paint Chip Poem)

By JoToy

Plum perfect sky with light octopus clouds floating in the midst of it
Sun the color of ginger root
Mountainless horizon with building silhouettes in obsidian black
Antique brass hued lights shine through the windows of apartments
Bright, cotton-colored stars and a creamy moon in the middle of them
Dark bramble grass poking out of sidewalk cracks
Vintage turquoise curtains hanging from shop windows 
The wonders of a parallel universe

    My Pond

    Wood frogs croaking

    Dandelion fluff floating majestically in the sky
    Birds singing their hopeful songs
    Grass hushing in the breeze 
    Smell of fresh pond air with every breath
