Tangerine Dreams Poem by Shirley Harrison

Remember the Beatles

they wrote on love and of peace?

Lucy in the sky with diamonds

and tangerine trees


imagine the marmalade skies

and the boat made of dreams

in a bubble of dust

floating up stream

marshmallow pie's

plastic-wrapped flowers of green


looking for miracles

on love and on peace?


look at the art on the walls in the street

reflect on their color

on the vibes that they bring



not all pictures need look the same?

not all artists need such fame?



the pictures we paint

should be ours to own?



so I'll find my best muse

and write, my heart out till dawn.
