[hometext] => This poem mentions the color Bakers Pink.
This color is rumored to have been created by Crayola in the 60's or 70's but had to be banned because it tended to drive people crazy. This poem was also inspired be the line that is in quotes. A couple of poet friends of mine and I came up with this line and challenged each other to include it in a poem. This is my result. [bodytext] => An unusual sensation of fear has gripped my psyche. Tense in places normally c a l m, The fire pokes my mind into psychosis. The colors of insanity wash my soul. Drenching me in purples, reds, blues- Turning off the sounds and illusions has become much harder. I taste the blood of my sanity- And realize-though much too late-that I have been eating its heart. I spit in disgust at the demon that rips me. And he smiles his Bakers Pink smile... While commenting-almost quizzically- "I never eat anyone I haven't killed myself." I pale, And finally let go to the fulcrum.
