Loveliness tilts the chalice
raise to lips cranberry magenta
recurves drawn an archer’s bow

Sovereign Blanc to savor and swirl
ongoing story begin to unravel
swirl in reverse toward retrospect tilts
unraveling first things first

Running and skipping thru neighborhood meadow
Snapping them up by fistful and clusters
There’s more for the taking while racing about
Feet a-flying
Eyes a-wide
Shrieks delight
((Make Daisy Chains!!

Yellow buttons squeeze amid white fan arrays
Interweaving stems until the fingers green
Longer weaving longer one wish away farther
twist wish twist
wish twist wish

That first crush dispense with far too many
some daisies get bruised got pik’t too hard
ranking second third and so on
yet far n away Squish the best kiss’s of All
Perhaps so avoided these crush-coincides
a fifth a sixth and so-on kids!

Subject to karma its outcome seeming
half an eternity in the living
sapphire dreams will come will go
daisy chain wishes sip the Cognac of __
Beautiful within \ Beautiful without
Petals held from youth
beam an elder woman’s smile
Tilting the chalice most beautifully
