Lilac Memories

On my windowsill her pitcher filled with lilacs... My heart remembers Memories are stirred... I sat on her bedspread, while she brushed my long hair Sweet fragrance of love comes in shades of purple blooms.... quilted by her hand..... __________________________________________________________________ For Francine Robert's contest "Senryu For Mom"

Carrie, purple is spiritual colour....just right for love so divine. Winning wishes for Roberts contest. Many thanks for liking my work,'I am bored with poetrysoup' and supporting my views. Idea is to seek more fair play rather than hurting anyone. Its against bad system not against Members per se. And also for bad apples who tend to misuse system...... I have in fact received good support & love from many Premium Members. No offence intended. Luv & best wishes - Hitendra Mehta
