Fancy's Name

Beneath a canopy, Pink laid her head on cushions satin soft adorned with lace, envisioning the prince she'd one day wed, the worship in his eyes as face to face, they'd make their vows; he'd whisk his bride away. . . As Pink lay dreaming, Purple brought her quill (with musings and with words she likes to play), and sat all night concocting scenes until the details of Pink's wedding fantasy emerged as something more from Purple's view. Romance she'd styled into her poetry distinctive in its feminine soft hue. What loveliness from Pink and Purple came- A poem of Fancy. . . Lavender's her name! For the All Colors Are In (old/new) any poem on colors Poetry Contest of Skat *Lavender is my favorite color. A mix of pink
and purple, I think it's the prettiest of the colors!

You love sonnets and sonnets love you, Andrea! I like how you break the stanzas not just into sonnet quatrains, but where it makes the most poetic sense. Brilliant fantasy poetry about the birth of Lavender from the parentage of Pink and Purple. Dreamy!

This is another wonderful sonnet, Andrea. I'm having a good time reading your sonnets and learning a lot at the same time. You always stick to the form and it makes it so enjoyable to read. Very nice my friend..... Robert

Which also makes: 'Lavender Blue (Dilly-dilly) Lavender Blue... If I were king (Dilly-dilly) you'd be my queen'...And the sonnet queen returns...

i did see Precious just the other day.i bought the movie when a friend told me about it. I cried during the movie.it was horrible. and i hated her mom, she was so stupid and loud that is unnecessary.like int he beginning when they founght at home, just ridiculous and rude when she yelled like that and her father is a pig. towards the end too, i really cried. what kind of person is going to drop an infant on the floor.Precious inspired me to write that haiku -Always&Forever Lynette
