The Room off the Deck, Blacksburg, VA- July 15, 2010
A black dog
lays on a red blanket
in a debatably
(which my the online dictionary says is not a word)
blue room.
Next to a woman
of an certain age
who is learning to be balanced.
There is a vase full of flowers-
blue hydrangeas
from a neighbors bush,
pink with a blush of yellow gladiola's-
from the bulbs my mother gave me.
They are just so.
The dog.
The flowers.
The remind me while I work
how to
be.
My daughter loves hydrangeas, and that glad does not look real ~ what a lovely combination. And your dog looks content, a good way to be.
ReplyDeleteSharon-
ReplyDeleteThe hydrangeas had been there for a few days. And were quite lovely and content. This glad joined them after I found it on the ground (perhaps I should talk to the negligent gardener that did not tie them up- LOL).
It seems to be a bit of a show off, but the hydrangea don't seemed to be bothered one bit.
My daughter is much more into zucchini, tomatoes and squash. We go to visit her tomorrow - I am so exited!
I absolutely LOVED your last post -"Woman Food and God" Wow you can write! Thanks again for stopping by -
