[Moodpoems: Calendar of Correlatives] <br /> <br />I <br />The sky shines slick with the sun's oily gold, <br />swabs of cloud slide by, sopped and aureoled. <br /> <br />II <br />The spring lion yawns from a snooze, nonplussed <br />tassle-tail powdered with buttercup dust. <br /> <br />III <br />A bright blare startles the garden's stubble: <br />a tulip stem trumpets out a loud red bubble. <br /> <br />IV <br />Stone to stone a glittering brook careens, <br />its quicksilver splashing like tambourines. <br /> <br />V <br />A bullfrog flops on the mocha pond's flood; <br />tadpoles waddle through fundamental mud.<br /><br />William F Dougherty<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/theatrics-3/
