Lavender -- Challenge Poem


What does red and blue make?

Red and blue make purple they say
A violet hue akin to
Field of lavender, beams your way

Hands of red amid hands of blue
Each has a story of its own
Telling it silently to you

None is alike, not all made known
Everything you can imagine
Children all, each a precious stone

Together sweet and sour wine
Vulnerable, at play today
Squint a little, lavender lined

where she tells of Lavender Fields and the Lavender Plant.  Then she tells us to write as we are inspired by reading her page.

Note:  The hands are actually prints of adults, workers at St. Luke's Episcopal Hospital in the Woodlands, Texas.  Click on the picture and you can see their individual signing.  In my poem they would be hands of children, each representing a child, as that is what I can "see".

The Lover's Boat
 
The sun has risen, flowers are awake
Wake up little lovers, they're calling you
 
We've seen it all, asleep still in embrace
No movement from them is seen, still they sleep
 
All night long they embraced and cooed and kissed
Time to go now, a blossom for your hair
 
Smell the fragrance sweet! Awake now she is
Alluring and fresh, what about her guy?
 
Kiss him on his brow, then his ear you kiss
He will smell you sweet and reciprocate
 
Awaken he does, and kisses her sweetly
Sweeter than the flowers, Your boat awaits
 
Into the sunset he rows while she sings
Love songs they are, tonight another beach

Note: Comments may or may not be returned, but I appreciate them greatly.  We are in Caribbean Sea returning to Houston in the morning from an Emerald Princess seven day cruise. (Home now--Monday--after a day and night with the kids and grand-daughter, KP)
