Do not
You dare paint me
Lounging in the corner
Irreverently enjoying
Time out.

but she looks as lovely as a portrait, I’d want to preserve the moment… This poem is wonderful, it would be something I’d say– but no one will find me in such a beautiful dress, hehe. I like your poem. xo

I read the “do not” as her way of saying, no, I won’t go with you… Her gown is stunning though… imagine the feel of the silk. I love the American cinquain. They always say so much with so few words.

Yes! I love silk, and I love the cinquain. I’m having fun working with the structure and leaving it open to many different interpretations. I appreciate you visiting! ☺️
