Sassafras From A Ruby Lip Might I misbehave? In the spirit of a wild child Free, to be me At my soul, I am the deep cool green Summer grass and crystal clear, the water clean Just as crisp in the colors of fall As soft in sweet meadow winds et all For timelessness is quietness Who I am, is not discerned by title or degree Make it simple, in the open All a woman has to be I see romance differently A birthday dance sequentially ...In the moonlight ......In the living room .........In the raw of tender conversation That was a giggle From the front lawn in evening’s anticipation Catching fireflies, watching heaven change A peeper of some sort, draped in shadows strange Took note of that, did you? Aurora, or the shades of shooting stars unveiled Free verse is how I wish to live Catching fish, and learning ways to listen Intense my questions come, in firelight’s glisten And yet… A true affection, not just some pale reflection All the emotional hold security brings Provocative, the low cut dinner dress, French heels nonetheless But after, I will carry them, barefoot in the surf of a sunset beach Is that your hand for which I reach? Perhaps just spice, a pleasant dream can be so nice To linger, all you’ve got upon the spell I cast Give me something meant to last…for I am far from sport Look again, in kind retort…no root beer float could be As much of sassafras is me Copyright Kkh 10/02/06 |

This gives me the inclination to drop a bomb or two...(poetic bomb).....and rewrite the way sassafrasssssss is spelled into some other more memorable words.... Truth... sheesh, this is an excellent self portrait...well done Kiddo. |

WOW!! Outstanding write Kathleen.. I was going to quote my favourite lines, but I would have ended up with the entire piece here. Most excellent indeed!  Autumn, the year's last loveliest smile~ |
