Lady's Slipper Moccasins

In a society where mood elevators thrive Of Lady’s Slipper’s value we should not be deprived Now as rare as the Native American culture That found the medicinal plant promotes composure Its moccasin shape made it even more attractive To peaceful tribes who disdained the hyperactive For just like stepping into a pair of comfy shoes A Lady’s Slipper’s herbs can eradicate your blues A treat for the eyes awaits in the early spring shade Soft golden texture like skin on an Indian maid

Carolyn, with a depth of precision, unique to the true ability of your own vision. You have unleased with your words, a writing style in this poem, that has a life of it's own. I think I have finally mastered what I think needed to be said about your talent as a writer. "I Think" So there you have it! Sincerely, love, Moses
