All the dancing
dreams
of days to come
Those pleasant sunny afternoons
by the pale blue sea

Flowers that summer
spread across the field
Smell of lilacs
in the hall

Winter castles in the park
Autumn birches
on the hill

All distilled
to a single room—

roses splashed
on pitted walls

Beautiful images.

Quite the ending. Not sure where you're going with it but it evokes all sorts of ideas backed by images.

Eric,

Thank you.

This thing, apropos the daughters, was written after re-reading:

Nicholas and Alexandra
by Robert K. Massie
ISBN: 0345438310

A sensitive and intimate account of the last Czar
and his family.  Excellent book, (buy it used at
Amazon cheap).

Well done!

Remember the rumors that one of the girls lived?

These images are certainly provoking, they live! Well done Haun Yi!
