Karen Jones Poet Rhyme

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

Silent One December 30, 2023 at 9:56 AM 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.. Karen Jones December 30, 2023 at 10:26 AM Silent One I wish my work was as diverse as yours and others. I seem to mostly write from my life which can be boring and limited! But I appreciate your tolerance lol. Have a happy healthy New Year! Hugs!

Ink Empress December 30, 2023 at 3:05 AM 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 .. Karen Jones December 30, 2023 at 5:30 AM Thanks for your kind comments dear Ink hugs love and light to you!

Tom Cunningham December 30, 2023 at 12:02 AM 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 Karen Jones December 30, 2023 at 12:06 AM Thanks Tom! I will take my time and not move too fast. lol Hope your new year is happy and healthy as well hugs
