Bequeathed Bonnie Square

BEQUEATHED BONNIE SQUARE a lacy handkerchief embroidered with a hummingbird, a nectar-sweet trellis, to sponge the waterworks - the trickle of misty eyes, the honey-suckled creek that runs over wrinkled logs and leafy plum-cheeks. delicate hands lift the dapper doily — pat-a-pat dabbing. a tattered smile forms at the base of the cliffs. 6/30/2019

This part made me smile. "the dapper doily — pat-a-pat dabbing."

'the honey-suckled creek that runs over wrinkled logs and leafy plum cheeks' -- I don't know that poetry can get much more poignant than that, Kim. This is a FAVE for me, right away. Superb write! Best wishes, gw
