My Poetry Book Craft Ideaa

PINKING SHEARS
GLOSSY WRAPPING PAPER
STAPLES COVERED WITH SMALL RIBBON ROSES FROM WEDDING SUPPLY STORES
OR LEMON DROP BUTTONS, SEQUINS
BORDERS ON THE PAGES FROM ART DECO BRINES
OR EACH PAGE WILL BE A TRELLIS WITH HEIRLOOM ROSES CLIMBING OUT OF IT ALTERNATING WITH IRIDESCENT BLUE BIRDS
AND PURPLE WINGED DOVES
AND I WILL BE CAUGHT IN THE CROSS HAIRS OF UNEXPECTED RAINS
WEEPING IN TEARS OF TIERED RAINBOWS
AND IT WILL NOT MATTER THAT YOU ARE GOING AWAY
BECAUSE, LIKE CLOUDS,
YOU NEVER ARRIVED
