Red Has No Reason

Mary's postings this evening have reminded me that I want to share with you all the news of my new poetry collection entitled Red Has No Reason -- the publisher is Plain View Press and the book is also available (discounted) at  amazon.com.  The final poem in the collection, from which the title is taken, is:

      Aurora Borealis

     As there is no purpose for violet,
            there’s no purpose for purpose.
     As there is no order for orange,
            no order exists.
     As green escapes gravity
            and indigo invites inertia,
            as blue begs argument
            and yellow fails to yield,
     As red has no reason,
            reason is repealed.
