| I love this poem. As a native Floridian, I find it a creative and hilarious description of my home state's less charming attributes. That's not to say the Sunshine State isn't a fabulous place to live, but having a New Yorker living in Retirement Paradise admit not every day is paradise is something you don't hear very often--and let's face it, "violent venereal rain" belongs in the Metaphor Hall of Fame. Inspired by all the days that aren't like this one, Joseph in retirement has turned into a poetry powerhouse; be sure to visit the YDP Poetry Cam page and watch the video about his ArtPoem project (last video entry). You should encourage a gallery in your town to do a painter/poet collaboration! |
