Jack Kerouac

Carpe Diem Special #215 Jack Kerouac’s “white clouds”

White clouds of this steamy planet
obstruct
My vision of the blue void

White rose with red
splashes – Oh
Vanilla ice cream cherry!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Purple hues of the hibiscus
engulfed
Amid Japanese beetles

Red rose with white
stripes – Oh
Starspangled Banner!
