I'd been caught up in the middle, of one of those awful days,
When nothing seems to go right, with glitches and delays.
I was having a rough day at work, and the boss was now irate;
...
bright pink fingernails
a straw hat low on her brow
cool in sunglasses
...
down in the meadow
flowers bloom in all colors
and butterflies reign
...
I will admit I was a tightwad, though that fact shames me now,
As never changing mountains, often colorful mists will allow!
I never meant to be unkind, but only endeavored to be practical,
...
sapphire on sapphire
at the rise of jewelled night
when the stars flash fire
...
