R.S.V.P.
by Jane E PearceSorry, but I must decline
your ominous soiree-
.
the invitation was unexpected
and the hours are pressed that day.
.
I must paint dawn's new clouds
bright cerise with a purple edge,
.
and soften green fields with a yellow brush
where they nuzzle against the hedge.
.
Then hitch a ride with a sparrow
to a secret water hole
.
to picnic with the bumble bees,
and a dog who shares my soul.
.
At dusk ,I meet Chopin and Liszt
as they wait on the ivory keys
.
to show my hands the stars, and moon
shining through the trees.
.
Sorry, I must decline your ominous soiree
The invitation was unexpected
and hours are pressed that day.10/04/2005 Posted on 10/05/2005
