Raindrops on roses
watch the Jonathan Livingston Seagull sitting spine to spine with The Thornbirds
whiskers on kittens
tease back my urge to Kill a Mockingbird
warm woolen mittens
carelessly thrown beside the curled edges of Sophie’s Choice
brown paper packages
opened to reveal a tumble load of The Godfather, hard bound
these are a few of my favorite things
forever leaving me exploring The Eye of The Needle
blue satin sashes
sway and swing behind Heidi like dresses
snowflakes that stay on my nose
a post Halloween spin off from the Frankenstein
winters that melt into spring
reminders of the stained pages from the Summer in Paris
these are a few of my favorite things
as I pick a throw and lay back with my Huckleberry Finn
NaPoWriMo 2018

You are indeed a poet of Hope

And whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things"…..

Big Huckleberry Finn fan also. Need to read it again, so many years have passed. Check out Azar Nafisi’s “The Republic of Imagination.”
