Caren Krutsinger Poet Personification

If I Were a Bouquet

If I was a bouquet, I would be full and bushy with purple and lavender flowers.
Violets, lilac, white baby’s breath, fuchsia crepe myrtle, pink knock-out roses
Streams of orange and yellow silk ribbons would flow as a petticoat.
I would be dancing and jiving to jazzy music as my bride skipped down the aisle
Her father would have to try and keep up with her jazzy dance moves.

L Milton Hankins May 9, 2021 at 11:23 AM Personality-wise, I suspect you are, Caren. Would you explain to me why it is "If I was" instead of "If I were?" I know both are correct, depending upon usage, but I've forgotten when, so I just use "If I were" all the time. An old English teacher called my hand on it one time.
