creek bed romantic
I suppose the promise of love still remains for some
wrapped within
the petals of a single perfect rose
or luxuriating behind
the tinted glass of the limousine Dorothy Parker lusted for
but give me again
a baggie of crinoids–
like fossilized Cheerios–
you collected from creek beds
that match those you strung on your necklace as a symbol of home

very nice
I made a necklace from crinoids – gave it to my g.son. I enjoyed your poems this month
Thank you!
