Interview with a river god

Here we are again chatting about blooms in the middle of spring @ #dverse poets pub. I would like to thank Merril for your heart felt prompt.

Purple Tiger Rose

The river god Purple Tiger Rose once was I,

Once of the river Bullbourne.


Now just a lowly poet,

Interview with my former self,

Gave rise to my duplicity.


The Procol Harum song

A whiter shade of pale,

 haunts my dreams of death.


Leaping salmon once I commanded,

As the river god Purple Tiger Rose,

Not now I am just,

A lonely lowly poet.


Twice in a blue moon,

Do I commune with,

 absent friends who dwell,

only in my dreams.


Absolutely Fabulous

would it be to not

interview the river God

Purple Tiger Rose that once was me.
