Honey Gold



honey gold
warming my cheek
your light is gonna
last me 
through the week

golden delicious
sweet autumn kisses
taste so nice
mixin’ the sugar 
with the spice

sunshine
workin’ those rays
you keep me
smilin’
when the sky turns
grey

and when the night 
falls
you’ll hear your name 
called
see you soon

i’ll brag about you
to the moon.

Rene

    Hey, there...likin' the nouveau graphique for the blog.


    I also like this post, especially that line about bragging to the moon. Sweet.

    Yet, the entire time I was reading this, Mark Sandman was crooning like the devil about sweet and good, in the form of Honey White...

    Your indirect personification in the last line is genius. And beautiful. Makes me want to go outside tonight and strike up a conversation.

    Thanks,

    Casey

    You did not miss a detail to describe everything so perfectly! Makes you want to say good bye to summer and welcome fall.

    Wonderful apple-y, fall-y piece. Yes, I so agree with Helen, this would make a great Magpie Tale!

    I am breathless--ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, Rene. You truly are so good. This actually, no joke, bought a tear to my eye in its simple beauty of rhyme. I am in awe of your creative spirit. So very inspiring..

i don't like eggs but you knew this already i know you're thinking such a terrible waste but it's not, you see i'm feeding them to the dog she loves them just as much as i know she loved you and the way you walked her as if every single thing she sniffed mattered to you as well sorry, dear pardon my red wine opera crowd violin string tugging (your words) i ramble at breakfast like a fussy percolator but you knew this already morning is when i am most honest and vulnerable i know that's why you left after dinner oh god dammit you i miss you so much what i did before us is a mystery and what i do now is insanity i'm frying up eggs just to smell them again and to perhaps coax you down, from wherever you are for breakfast did you know i believe that there is still a ghost of a chance Rene Foran ~  April 2011 photo by Tess Kincaid for Magpie Tales click for more info
