Christmas Earrings  In April
Veronica A Cech

The site of them laying there
rivets me in place
And then it comes unbidden
the image of your face

Festive laughter from another time
hangs heavy in the air
Just as a Robin chirps to remind me
Its not December and you're not there

Happy memories reach out to me
they want my embrace
I can't bear to let them near me yet
My heart's still a broken place

They lay there in the dust
pretty red and green
I scoop them up and drop them in
a drawer to be unseen

Christmas earrings in April
seem so out of place
I wish my heart could say the same
for the image of your face

To 12~
  Nice poem. I think you could delete the words "just as" in line 7 and it would read even better. Good job.

Thank you both for your advice, and your warm welcome. I have been offline for almost a year, but I am back!
