On the curtain,
A dragonfly.
On the bedpost,
A streamered hat.
Long red stockings
And a short soft sigh,
The night full and sweet
As a bakery cat.

I wanted to add a video with it, but youtube changed things again and I can't figure out how. If you want to see it, it's HERE. And all of it is dedicated with a wink and a smile to STWIASD!
I love this, like a shot of 100 year old brandy!

1987 ~ A great year! Emmylou Harris still among the best of the best.
ReplyDeleteGreat poem!

ReplyDeleteCloudia, I love your comment because my working title for this was "1910 Love Poem"!
ReplyDeletesounds like a good night to me...and a great song to boot...
ReplyDelete"full and sweet like a bakery cat" - perfection!
ReplyDeleteAnd what a happy kitty! Great poem-and I love the red lettering, like the cherry on top!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I loved the images, they were so vivid and complimented the poem perfectly.
ReplyDeleteI hate when they change like that.
ReplyDeleteYour poetry hasn't changed - it's still beautiful :-)
You rhyme...You don't. You're serious...You're whimsical. You have a certain cadence...You throw us a change-up.
ReplyDeleteYou continue to piss me off. (wink and a smile to accompany the envy)
A complete image of a complex ( delightfully so) experience, all tied up with a bow in a couple of lines that make you want to hum, if not dance a brief jig. For some reason I am seeing the bakery cat with a Chesire grin.
ReplyDeleteThis works very well...that last image is killer.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous picture you paint!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I love me some Emmylou.
