Periwinkle Forest Ranger
A periwinkle forest ranger winks
from up high and lets out a yell
as he jumps off the roof
of a cerulean skyscraper
with marshmallow windows.
His silky marmalade parachute
drifts through an indigo cloud,
just missing the snow covered
parchment Space Needle.
His mulberry gumboots crash
through a jet black window
and into an alabaster storefront,
squishing dozens of loafs
of sourdough bread.
Being beat from the jump
he spreads out his arms
(into the croissant section)
and falls fast asleep.
Totally cracked me up – croissant pillows! I love the playfulness of this poem and the places the words took you with this prompt – like a picture book for adults! Perfect!
