Marikate Kingston Poet Rhyme

If You Were a Melody

If You Were A Melody

 You would twirl around, in a diamond gown.

 You would sip pink tea under a tulip tree.

 You would live in a castle of fairy dust, and in my love, you would always trust.

 You would hold my hand under a stardust moon and whistle to me a quiet tune.

 You would dance on tiptoe through warm melting snow
 to tell me secrets only you should know.

  You would play George Gershwin's Rhapsody In Blue. Your favorite color,
 ... elegant blue.
 
  You would float like the lilies at Giverny, and to my heart, you would hold a key.

Hilda Greenhough March 12, 2024 at 1:26 PM This is a beautiful, musically induced poem of love. I very much like the imagery and the reference to George Gershwin.

Heidi Sands September 26, 2023 at 6:24 AM Oh, I love this. A FAVE for me :)

Ann Foster June 14, 2022 at 9:16 AM and to my heart, you would hold a key... lovely... I enjoyed this writing very much. Ann Marikate Kingston June 16, 2022 at 7:57 PM Thank you so much for your lovely comment. It made me feel good. Unfortunately, I have not been able to write for a few months and I miss it so much. I do not smoke or drink and I walk a mile 3 or 4 days a week and I m not heavy. Despite all these things, I suffered a mild stroke in March and do not have the thinking yet to write. That is why I was surprised to find your nice new comment

Karen Jones June 13, 2022 at 10:23 PM I love this poem. It is so lighthearted and a little whimsical. Just the title alone inspires. Well done Marikate. Marikate Kingston June 16, 2022 at 8:05 PM Hi Karen. Thank u for your nice comment. I had a stroke back in March and since then have not been able to write poetically. Supposedly by October, 'll be as good as new. I'm not a smoker or a drinker so it was unexplained. It just cheered me up to read your comment.

John Watt January 24, 2022 at 4:52 PM Marikate, this poem hits all the high notes for me (if you'll pardon the musical pun). I am a fan of Gershwin, Monet, and melodies, and just adore sweet little romantic poems that feel like they could be written inside a Valentine's day card. So glad I found this gem today ~ John John Watt October 28, 2023 at 8:08 AM Never too late! I appreciate your reply. Nice to know there is another fan of Impressionism out there. My favorite painter is Renoir. Marikate Kingston October 26, 2023 at 8:03 PM What a very nice thing to say. I studied art for a while in college and learned then about French Impressionism. I speak some french and love to paint so it is fun to write French artists. My replies are sometimes months a or a year later late. As a beginning writer, I used to forget to respond. Probably too late now. Thought I would try anyway. I loved your musical pun!

Gershon Wolf December 29, 2021 at 6:11 PM Gosh, this is sweet. Sweeter than honey, for my money. Kudos, Gershon Marikate Kingston January 6, 2022 at 9:47 PM Thank you again Gershon. High praise from you.

Mystic Rose Rose December 25, 2021 at 3:21 PM I think you almost floated me away with your beautiful descriptive poem, dear poetess. Merry Christmas, love and light xo Marikate Kingston January 6, 2022 at 9:49 PM It is important to reply to such nice praise. You always say the nicest things. Thank you. I hope your holiday was special. Fondly, Marikate. Marikate Kingston December 27, 2021 at 10:06 PM What a very kind thing to say. I am truly touched. Thank you, you made me smile.
