She Sets Out For Summer
Portfolio packed with a life of illusions
a palette abundant with shadows and shapes
She sets out for Summer
on wings of delusions
wearing her cloak
that she sewed from the drapes
Writing stories of pleasure
a third one of pain
one of the Wishwood
all sparkled with rain
Four filled with children
tugging your hands
Five for her own heart
that makes its' demands
She colours the pages
with paint and pastels
she's written it down
but there's so much
to tell
She flies on back home
to wash up the dishes
she packs all the lunches
and feeds all the fishes
Tomorrow she'll pack
her portfolio tight
and find a new place
to let fancy
take flight.
