The BlueIris Semi-Nightly Poetry Break, 3/31/09 (non-graphic language, but semi-graphic subject)
"And I Put Away"

And I put away
all scent, used only white soap.
And I brought into my house white
flowering plants I then let die so I
did not have to look at them. Each day
look at white flowers and be reminded
I did not feel the way those flowers
looked, I could not remember feeling
the way those flowers looked.

~Frances Driscoll

1. My dear BlueIris...
Ooh, boy...

This is such a sad poem.

So hidden, and yet not...

Thank you...

:hug:
