Ebony Beauty
crow, raven, coal, haven
computer keys, rim of clock
heartfelt letters,
with a tick and a tock
ebony eyelashes,
cell phone screen when off
Heels of shoes,
That readily scoff
Raven hair, fanciest evening gown
Black is the most elegant color around.
Dogs and kittens, with splotches and splashes.
Morse code in black dots and dashes.
Black is universally a color most preferred.
Crows and geese wearing it undisturbed.
Black satin and velvet, almost too elegant to see
I have to admit black silk looks terrific on me.
