Debutantes with secret lives of crimson could drink and smoke much more than anyone, dressed in ivory postbellum fashion sable coats, charcoal tuxes by the ton. In and out of shadows obsidian debs and escorts waltzed like porcelain toys, social ceremony called cotillion guarantee of attention from the boys. Ash of Roses with absinthe leaves bouquet trembling soft in their clutching white gloved hand. A graceful bow one Midnight moon in May and honored parents thought the time was grand. Cerulean flashes blinded young eyes in days when truth was buried with disguise. 10/17/17 Ash of Roses Absinthe Cerulean Charcoal Crimson Ivory Obsidian Porcelain Sable Smoke Midnight Romance Contest

Wow! This poem moves w/the speed of laser thought, Janis. It truly moves my cerebral needle. This bejeweled poetic velvet glove makes a person ponder, contemplate deeply the vagaries of life. You chose an admirable generational topic ... the young (and their forgetful parents) need to know the true celebrations of life. Great poem from a gifted poetess. Stellar write. Love and hugs always.
