Of Sights and Scents

A distinguished pair of spectacles, selfless and serene, doze snuggly atop a Proud bureau of drawers. A placid fireplace yawns and winks As giggling embers tango on tiptoes with Lilliputian logs, haughtily cackling a cacaphonous tune. Outside a stoic mist galumphs betwixt gregarious shrubs and egotistical stars Dewy eyed and squinting, windows, aching and arched, peep out-- Out to the blaring beams from a crochety moon. A pensive pair of spectacles ruminates on sights Carefully seen-- Of frugal birds and courteous walkways And terraces splendid and keen Now a scent of myrrh caresses the room A pillow of mist blushing, blows kisses to A muzzy moon
