Kenia gave us a list to inspire poetry. She was inspired by one of her favorite books. Have you read it?
It was very gray this morning, I thought I might have fun trying to capture a mood with the light and my daughter's roses. My daughter is a fan of pink-she announced at the tender age of three-she was going to grow up and have pink hair. I see pink and am always reminded of this conversation and how much it tickles me. Yes I am Tickled Pink. She hasn't dye it yet, her favorite color is now transformed to a
peachy pink.
Memory's Gift
Pewter sky kisses milkweed clouds
painting a fence of curious
crows around my heart's yellow pages
droplets of rain pool
casting resin glaze
over puzzled green eyes
ever-present ruby edges remain
like licorice and bricks
dusting parched lips
with spring water
lipid gray stones tumble downhill
collection
of blue scratches sky's muse
golden threads last chance
to paint landscape with
mountains of Red Delicious peelings.

No peach-pink hair yet?
It was beyond gloomy here this morning - more like the thunderstorm from hell.
Hugs and chocolate!

Nene or Marco-Do you have a nickname?! Thank you so much! I have missed it-I have written stuff, but it didn't feel finished. Thank you so much! You are very kind!
Susie-YOU trend setter you! You remind me of a gal who had dirty blonde hair, more dark than blonde. She bought a product to lighten it-clown orange is what she ended up with. You could find her in a crowd-I think she enjoyed her fame after the initial shock wore off. I bet you rocked it!~
Thank you!

Love that entire piece Ella ~
And the poem...I was loving it, and then I came to the best part...the ending "with mountains of Red Delicious peelings"...I grew up in hilly orchard country in British Columbia, and I loved nothing more than the scent of a freshly-cut Red Delicious apple.

I love the peach colored memories that the grey morning evoked:
“painting a fence of curious
crows around my heart's yellow page”
what a lovely image!
The red cascade of chosen words across the page was especially effective.
