Ineffable Roses Inordinately Red Or Pink Poem by Mary Angela Douglas

ineffable roses inordinately red or pink
or yellow as the sun enchanted everyone
or only one, read the math problem in

my dream the best word problem yet
in terms of shading:
here, in the music, it says rest

and you play one staff only anyway
at a time. ah, are you rhyming rhyming
side stepping the folkloric dance

on the auditorium stage;
auditioning for the Christmas play;
the pageant where the

Princess never awakes
but it's ok she's dressed in
petals of pink and will not blow away and pinkness

is all you care about
at this age,
shines her mother.
