A lilac fell…
(She didn't mean to)
She quivered and trembled
by the water's edge,
down
down,
Softly twirling.
Happy lilac—
She laid her lavender crown
on an un - noticing nose,
A valentine chair
Where
She could rest her purple- ness
Quietly, as not to disturb
Toad dreams.
SWOOSH!
As rapid as lightning
And mathematics,
A tongue
Thinking plum
A dragonfly, or some other yum,
And a sloppy wet kiss, (eyeballs involved)
Ended
A fairytale love.
Nothing means to die,
Not a story,
Nor a lilac.
A happy lives on…
Lillypads and toads,
Philodendron!
A Day Lily weeps but— not for long!
At a lazy lilac afternoon.
