Mollified Heights

[Minotaur]

Mollified Heights

I have used the wind to get me through,

and over boundaries others build to hold

barren ground where nothing ever grew

of colors raging arrogant and bold.

I have paid for courage of a fool,

riding clouds, going where they will,

falling downward often as a rule,

while reaching for another, even still.

At some sane point beyond my exit goal

of setting tethered rainbow endings free,

I may have to stop and count the toll

from attitudes and altitudes of me.

It was initially going to be a ghazal until the word through stole the show and I thought...

"How many times and ways can "through" be read without puking?" ha ha

Not me,Red Cloud! I am still pondering on that ,"Orange," thing!

Others will drift in. We have more writers of poetry here I'll bet.

Hope so. "Variety is the spice of life," some philandering husband once said.

The word that rhymes with orange is probably in the holy grail. Find it and you will be famous for something other than your roses!

Thanks much MaryAnne!
