Periwinkle Dust
Virginia Salter

periwinkle dust
is a must
to build a garden’s beauty
prayer and trust
life won’t rust
when one attends to duty

butterfly wings,
as bluebird sings,
charms a sun-drenched day
bumble-bee stings,
lost diamond rings
turn my heart to clay

sweet baby coos,
brand-new shoes
smile my face agleam
letters from you,
candy-grams, too,
cause my eyes to beam

bowers of flowers
warm summer showers
dance my feet a-jingle
kisses on cheeks
peek-a-boo peeks
set my heart a-tingle

so come with me
we’ll laugh with glee
and sing this little jingle

Nice jingle.  I'm trying to think of something you missed.  You covered a lot of territory.  Joyce

but Joyce, you could go an entirely different direction...perhaps a fantasy where periwinkle dust provides the power to soar...etc.

Regardless of the directions one could explore, the path you have chosen is marvelous. I hung onto each and every word.
