Poem
Once Upon a Purple Sunrise Pretty as a Periwinkle, in your frilly summer frock, the one with purple polka dots that matched the cool of early dawn. Haloed in hazy lavender hue, I'll always remember you; running barefoot through the cornfields still wet with translucent drops of fragrant morning dew. The scent of damp, fresh grass lingering on your waist-length, ebony braids, that wrestled free of their crimson satin ribbons, floating away in the pale blaze of a new day, riding on a gentle breeze. Your childish giggles drifted through rows of raspberries bushes, a look of total wonder reflected in your bright smiling hazel eyes, innocent as the wispy grey clouds, that awake with the surprise of a transient glowing sunrise. Where did you come from, Little Sprite, with your mischievous deep dimples, cherry-stained cheeks and lips? Even gazelles would be jealous of your long, lithe brown legs, graceful as a swan's, gliding in casual slow motion. Carefree as a hummingbird, hovering in suspended animation, you were lost in the beauty of your own song. Did you forget me, waiting for you with finger sandwiches and sweet tea? But that was okay – it was your time to wander in an ocean of wild yellow daisies that needed to sprout in your youthful heart… take root and grow in your memory forever. 02-17-2018 Best New Poem - 2/20/18 Poem of the Week 2/25/18 Sponsor: Silent One Contest: Sunrise and Sunset Placement: 1st
