dear poems, we will dress you up like paper dolls:
an outfit for every occasion! here's the poem
having tea with the Queen in a hat with red roses
on it, a pale pink afternoon dress (insert tea tray here).
and then, a day at the beach! and the poem's in flippers
with a golden beach ball (it is a poem, after all, something
has to be golden.)
sleepwear. well, a kimono embroidered on fine silk:
every colour from a distant spring...
you'll know it's here
when every word you say
starts turning into flowers
