Notes About The Poem


Golden

 

The Flowing River

She is certain that life is a fashion show
and kisses are the flowers of love in bloom,
but the boy she likes does not seem to know
the difference between Prada and Fruit of Loom. 

He looks at her and sees only eyes like fireflies,
and lost in the shadow of her soft moonrise
he does not notice what she likes to wear ~
But, oh! The flowing river of her golden hair!
