The Yellow Clown Magpie Tales #118

The Circus With the Yellow Clown, 1967, Marc Chagall
Oh my heart oh my head
My feet can't dance
They're made of lead
The girl in blue 
She wants romance 
Cowardly in yellow
I won't take a chance.

A Second Look at Magpie Tales #113

My friendly blogger buddy Stafford
wrote to me after reading my previous post
that he wanted to know more of the story.
So, I wrote him back this:
HI there! well- your remark on my Magpie post made me
ponder for about 24 hours and while Russell and I were
taking a drive through the mountains this new poem came
to mind- It still isn't the whole story, but another chapter
and I thank you for pushing for more....
maybe you weren't pushing but thanks anyhow!
Smiles Kathe
Below is my "Second Try"




Pink moon shines on rooftops
Reflecting red blood of hatred
The angel of death genuflects
Before the stricken mourner

Above Red Roofs- Magpie Tales 113



Red Roofs Marc Chagall




Above red roofs
His colors sing and sparkle
A lonesome visionary
A gift to us
