Master Disguise

I am a master pleaser, my feelings buried deeper than restless bones. I will shade you from midsummer sun, and you’ll never know I was crying. My iced tea and sweet berry disguise protects you or maybe me? Let me find you frowning amongst sprawled picnic blankets, I will shade you from midsummer sun, and you’ll never know I was crying. I will fan out a red-and-white checkered smile before you. Let me find you frowning amongst sprawled picnic blankets, I will seek a daisy from my own bouquet or share a sugar candy touch. I will fan out a red-and-white checkered smile before you. My iced tea and sweet berry disguise protects you or maybe me… I will seek a daisy from my own bouquet or share a sugar candy touch. I am a master pleaser, my feelings buried deeper than restless bones.

Please find me, Rhonda! I need a sweet touch, be it tea, berries or candy. The poem itself is a "master pleaser" and I enjoyed reading it very much. It also brings thoughts of delightful summer picnics to mind. Beautifully penned! Love, Carolyn
