The Prettiness of Pink Of all the floral springtime hues Of yellow, red and purple blooms I love more than the sweet perfume The prettiness of pink There’s nothing lovelier I believe Than Easter dress with puffy sleeve And little girl in shy naive And prettiness of pink A dozen roses sent with love Red petals soft as velvet glove But I , myself, am fondest of The prettiness of pink I love the dogwood’s lovely bloom And redbud’s lacey floral plume My eyes cannot in full consume The prettiness of pink Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (edited 04-05-2000).] |

Elizabeth, From the above I'd say you were in to pink. And since I'm not a shrink, I think, There possibly could be a link, To something happened long ago, Perhaps this could be so? Whatever I think this poem of pink Deserves a doublethink. Love your poems, Sy |

For me, the best imagery is, "Easter dress with puffy sleeve and little girl in shy naive" You have captured the essence of Easter and sringtime. Beautifully written. |

This is lovely, Elizabeth! *S* (But your "think pink" comment brought Pepto Bismol to mind. *G* Now I've got to re-read the poem... of course... that's not a tough task! *G*) [This message has been edited by suthern (edited 04-05-2000).] |

Liz, the flowering peach is pink, a special color, and I just saw the dogwood in Oregon--how lovely they are---and this is a lovely pink poem, I think. |

Suthern, I should have incorporated Pepto Bismal in the poem, I forgot about that. Oh well, glad you liked it anyway Martie, I'm still waiting for pinks. Nice to have you back Liz |

Liz, Lovely images this conjures up for me. Kind of what Easter and springtime are all about. Thank you!!! Friends are friend forever if the Lord's the Lord of them and a friend will not say never cause the welcome will not end. --Michael W. Smith |

There are some pretty pink tress in bloom here now, although, I don't know what kind they are. Spring has sprung!! This is a beautiful poem, Elizabeth! Denise |

In Charlottesville you'll find tulips aplenty~ And Dogwood with it's beautiful bloom~ All in pink, for our eyes to consume~ If anyone has ever been to UVa, then you know what I mean! Springtime is oh so beautiful! Lovely poem Liz!! Marie "Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind; And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind." The Bard |

Lone Wolf, That's kind of what poetry is supposed to do, and so your comment made me happy, Thanks Denise, It's about time! It is so lovely, it was worth the wait. Thanks Marge, you are just so cute. Thank you, dear Marie, You are probably a week or so ahead of us, and yes, Va. is a beautiful state. Thank you |
