Na/GloPoWriMo Thank you for the inspiration!
Combining a Georgia O'Keefe image with an Anne Carson poem the instructions "write a poem that directly addresses someone, and that includes a made-up word, an odd/unusual simile, a statement of “fact,” and something that seems out of place in time."
Here's what my mind produced:
The Mysterious Allure of Being Green
Calculus can't calculate your rate
of change from amphibial
composure to exasPiggyation.
Your Adam's apple hitches with emotion.
Algebra might solve the equation
of lovers and dreamers
making rainbow connections.
Your supple velvet viridescence radiates.
Geometry alone can explain the result
when your angles meet her curves.
