A Giveaway

That color doesn’t look good on you,
shade of putrescence
with a certain
luminescence,
glowing in darkness
but with no shine of its own.

I’m reminded of a kid’s toy,
the kind given away -
bright and new
but quickly forgotten
because it doesn’t do
anything.

Corinne,

Elegant, but sad. Stuffed bears, lions, and tigers do little but yield to hugs, but the inability to part with them suggests a transcendent value to children and adults alike. Bob

some people find it easy just to give things away. . . but, there's always more value in keeping those things. . .

wonderful Corinne. . .

This made me think of all the smiles I've given away and hopefully, they meant something.   Thank you, Corinne.
