A Sicilian Quintain As the silk card arrived and she saw the rose, A smile slowly appeared upon her face; His secret message of love, that only she knows Within the card so delicately edged with lace, Connecting her heart to his, their love continually grows. ******** The silk post cards were sent by serviceman in WW1 to their wives and sweethearts. Because of censureship, letters arrived much disfigured. The silk postcard was sent instead..with an embroidered emblem that was known only to the person sending it and his loved one.

JB...a silk card was sent to me from someone in England that collects them. Mine has a red rose and leaves embroidered on it. A flap edged in silk and a little card inside the pocket. Very romantic. Thank you for your comment......Gloria |

Twilah, this is so beautiful. What a nice way to share an old custom, and what a romantic one it was! You're one good poet lady.  To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Beautifully written and sooo romantic! A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |
