| "Flaming June" by Frederic Leighton |
Exhausted from a June day
flushed with sunlight rays
slipping into a daydream
as crazy as it may seem
she still thinks of him
flushed with sunlight rays
slipping into a daydream
as crazy as it may seem
she still thinks of him

He promised her pearls
in an ocean of oysters
threading endearments
one precious gem at a time
how, was she to know
she'd get entangled in
a strand of vintage faux
tip toeing
away
in an ocean of oysters
threading endearments
one precious gem at a time
how, was she to know
she'd get entangled in
a strand of vintage faux
tip toeing
away

Oh, it is wonderful what you have done in this poem - the faux pearls, the faux promises...........and yet, we never forget the romance of such unmatched days.........sigh.
ReplyDeleteHe had a new-to-me line. Pearls were well received by Mrs. Jim though. Our DIL picked them out for me.
