Purple Days to Come I am going to grow old gracefully and revel in quiet and peace and books and leaf through the passages one by one by one and I shall wear purple socks and hats and gloves and lingerie robes perhaps not all at once but to amuse grandchildren maybe I will yes I will wear purple and have white hair and wear my glasses while sipping tea and there shall be wine at the required time, half past today when this time comes as it must and shall I will leaf the pages of friends once well met in blue walls of passion some will have gone away some will have stayed in the pages I leaf friends well met never to forget and I shall see you all in purple’s haze even on the sunniest days ~ ~ ~ in the spirit’s realm in sonnets sung at Cap’n’s helm on Cape Cod’s bay Seattle shall call the Floridian skies to meld upon pages before my eyes, Texas troubadours too shall meet balladeers shall sing looking suthern in mem’ry and devinely hear the call of an Aussie sweet and in the cold of northern clime I’ll find sweet poet’s rhyme of days of yore forevermore here, held in my hands veined in purple to match the rest of me and forever shall painters of prose permit purple to hold sunshine…. {a thank you to all of Passions’ poets for your beautiful works} 28 September, 2000 ©Karilea Rilling Jungel |

Karilea - great workings on the references, and I am truly honored (I think) to be included. As for you wearing purple, yanno, you can get your hair dyed that color, too! |

Hey where are the cowboys in this one. I guess I will have to settle for being a Texas troubadour then. Great piece and thank you for saying thanks to all those that thank us for saying thanks to them.  |

Sunshine, if the balladeer you hear singing is this one, you'll have a real reason to turn purple!  It's a wonderful poem, though, and I'm honord to be a part of it. Thank you... |

Saving purple for later years reminds me of one of my favorite poems "Warning"... This is great, Sunshine! |
