Jaipur Limerick

There was an old painter from Jaipur
who painted ceilings, floors, walls, and doors.
'Til his boss raised a stink,
and said, "Paint it all pink!"
"I've not enough pink cans for that chore."

POEM: Temple Red

The walls were painted temple red.
This dream was just that kind of dream.
I saw no feeders nor the fed,
but my deep mind followed that stream
of color from décor to blood.
And seeing it not sacredly
saw red waters rising to flood
and paint the walls a shade deadly.

POEM: Blue

Oh, the glorious monotony
of mountain skies
an azure dome
in rare air highs
over the brome

And, too, the lake
glassy tranquil
float duck and drake
in mile high chill
