LA or Carolina Clay

Purple phone on the piano Red rings sing of missed rendezvous I’m sure it is my fuchsia fellow But what’s a cocoa girl to do I’m in love with music and neon notes Are so fun to tangerine discover His heart amethyst art full of hope But melodies are my mahogany lover He beckons me with a turquoise tease I’m the man, you’re my mocha lady Would you pink please marry me Leave your home do as I say baby Now I know no other Caramel folks Who live in the teal thrills of L.A. I’m quite content on the east coast With bare brown feet in Carolina clay If it’s deep I should be blues free Throwing cherry caution to the wind My music is peace and my purple poetry Have been my companion and friend I’m a strange bird for I love his white words Of desire to be wed and sandy such But it feels free to just be green Like a single note of a lone song bird My friends say you must move away If he is to be your beloved husband But the music is moving me to stay The thought of leaving despite lovin I really haven’t made a choice Was born a single lady in December Perhaps in praying to the lord He will soon solve my humble dilemma Music is my first love and Poetry is song of word I suppose if love is strong enough I’d fly like a prized white dove

Your poem is a delightful exploration of love, colour, and the intersection of music and romance. The clever use of colours to represent emotions and themes adds a vibrant and imaginative layer to the narrative I can see your love for it all in your words... Nicely done Karen, I hope you have a wonderful new year full of joy and happiness..

Awwn the way you weave words and express using colors and creative diction is beyond impeccable dear karen. I can feel the emotions throughout this, the excitement and also the questions ,, and j can resonate with how you’ve said “ My music is peace and my purple poetry Have been my companion and friend” definitely also has a deep meaning and depicts your love for music and poetry. I love your use of gems tooo to convey thoughts. Sending you light always. Let time do the talking… always ..

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, what I normally do is write down my choices and under each one listing all the positive things. It might help with your decision. Plus the warmer climate of La is surely a big plus lol Wishing you a very happy new year Karen and hope it brings you good health and happiness. Tom
