A room painted pink
A vase wedgewood blue
A little silver locket
Lapis lazuli
Possibilities
A thicket of milkweed
Monarchs glorious
Feed.
Hummingbird chances
Ruby throated, rufous.
Larkspur luck
A blue linen blouse’s pocket, a hair bow
Satin lilac
*
Silken sight.
Touch, delicate crocheted.
Hearing knitted Chopin, Handel,
Purled Rachmaninoff, Berlioz.
Taste sewn,
Threaded organza silver
A scent,
Lavender parchment
Black ink,
A love letter touched
*
Tey’s To Love and Be Wise
Keats’ Ode To a Grecian Urn.
No happy ending for Romeo and Juliet,
Neither for MacBeth and his Lady.
A Midsummer Night’s Dream
A Winter’s Tale.
Author Author, a vintage game.
Cards in a deck, jewels in a crown.
*
From locket, a tiny pink rose grows.
Mind it well.
Possibility, fragile
But a worthy gamble
Love touched, felt in velvet, seen in embroidered blue lace.
