Too BLAND, ptooey!
Scrabble about in the POUCH
Surely another SWEET
Somewhere in there
Oooh, a bit GRIMY
Covered in fluff
Give it a wipe
Pop in the mouth
Fix me up in a JIFFY!

Georg’ann

Wrapped in a hand painted bag,
enveloped in colorful tissue,
the gift was an elegant SCARF
of aqua and sky blue silk.

Her friend FOUND it
among discarded treasures
accumulated over decades.
Thought it matched her eyes.

The afternoon was a THEFT
of time, stolen hours together.
Went by in a JIFFY, conversation
like a hall of mirrors- never ending
