ode to brown

brown flannel sheets so warm and comforting

the UPS that delivers my gift package

eyes that sing a romantic song

bears, twigs, and a sparrow.

brown leather fringe on flirty cowgirl skirts

the donkey that listens with both ears

coffee that wakes me with a kiss

frogs, pods, and a cotton tail.

brown glitter softly dusted on butterfly wings

the warm soil that cradles my flowers

suntanned skin; bronze and taut

chestnuts, deer, and a pony.

	To look at the present, an UPS delivery. To envision a future with pods & cottontails. And, then, to call upon the past with a donkey that listens with both ears is more than an ode. It's a lady's way of saying, "thank you for paying attention"! All the best, Jamieson Respond To This Comment

	One of the nature's beauty and comes in different shades, and each shade has different flavour, and I could taste many of those flavours in this beautiful poem. Enjoyed it, ~Dean Respond To This Comment
