Spectacle
corporate
spectacle
personal
spectacle
by kings and queens
there
is no spectacle
like
a Fat Tuesday spectacle
a
spectacle in New Orleans
the
colors we are raised with
the
colors we absorb
our
history, our science, our math
no
purple without gold
no
gold without green
three
colors marking our path.

Poetry, Seth Hanies has an “associative poetry prompt” to blend some
colors. And today being Mardi Gras in my hometown of New Orleans, I could think
of no better colors than purple, gold and green. Unless it’s the other 364 days
of the year, when green is dropped and purple and gold remain (the official
colors of LSU).

Nice poem Glynn! We are gearing up for Carnival here is Haiti and it is already starting to get "loud. . . " Looking forward to the color from the gray . . .
A fun and vibrant poem, Glynn! Makes me want to have pancakes for dinner. :)
