Regifted Verse

here's a few nibbles, a chosen few lines of cellophaned offerings not bought or made by me, but perhaps fruitful nonetheless given last holiday in a heavy-versed book to look at thoughtfully, wonder at the imparted intent, then pass on to you the nut-laden lines that someone's aunt cooked up, every single year since her mother first showed her the directions and the smiling recipient re-wrapped it with a handwritten note to hand off to another - and in turn another, until, now you see me, sitting before you, smiling tentatively, while both hopeful, and apprehensive contemplating acceptance with a soulful pocketing, or yet another, itinerary change of regifted verse that I wrapped just for you © Goode Guy 2013-07-16
