Patricia Cresswell Poet Free verse

A Dream For Maureen

A Dream For Maureen

saw her peeking hesitantly 
through the window  
shaped as a page yellowed
with age and scented of violets
and forget me nots, a posey
once given shyly 
and received with love.
I reached toward her
she stepped gingerly into
my world of words and wishes
for a long spring afternoon.

Maureen McGreavy Pigeon Tart September 27, 2017 at 8:12 AM Patricia, tears in my coffee this morning, Your words have turned my own into little birds, flashes of colour flying away just when close enough to touch. Thank you dear poetess, a precious gift. Patricia Cresswell September 27, 2017 at 3:47 PM Hey girl I needed the company and a friend makes a perfect afternoon.
