Golden Girl

Listen to poem:
Golden oak, the banister gleams, its clean waxed surface lightly touched by her soft, soft hand as she descends the green carpeted stair, tossing her lustrous, long blonde hair. She is modishly dressed, in a casual way (a green twill frock) and she is eating an intense red, crisp apple, which she carries aloft in her left hand, left elbow resting on left hip. The apple aroma precedes her to the door and out, into the bright gold light. She closes the door, engages the lock, firmly bites into the crisp apple flesh, flashing her strong white teeth; her pink tongue licks a dribble of juice from the left corner of her red, red mouth. She shakes her head, gold in the golden light, and she tosses the half-eaten apple to the lush green lawn, laughs at a soaring greenjay, passes (unnoticed) a flight of fluttering golden butterflies, and blithely continues on her determined way to her beauty appointment, her club luncheon, and the rest of her busy, busy day.
