You

Your crepe paper garb leaves nothing to the imagination. Your transparency is visceral, daring, alarming. Your veins throb with your life-blood, Illuminated by midsummer sun; I see right through you. You actually are Real, true, You.

Your crepe paper garb leaves nothing to the imagination.

Your transparency is visceral, daring, alarming.

Your veins throb with your life-blood,

Illuminated by midsummer sun;

I see right through you.

You actually are

Real, true,

You.

    I like this one, especially–because you describe it as “crepe paper”, which is so perfect!! And of course I love the message about authenticity!! God bless you Big today! love, Caddo

      Being authentic is so very important – I think we all have strong words for the ‘fakes’ we run into…so a good reminder to us all to be real!

    So well done! Remember the Velveteen Rabbit.

      Thanks Maria! How is your writing project going?

      1. Maria Tatham

        Melody, I’m more than halfway through another revision. Thank you for remembering about this!

        I just peeked at some zone 9 plants – rhododendrons and cannas and dahlias for flowers. Wisteria vine to climb up the house. If you’re talking trees, it would be figs, lemons, oranges… I wish! If it is garden stuff, cantaloupe and watermelon – can’t grow those here! Time of year?? Is it for a yard landscaping, or for veggie production? Anyway, if I could, I’d plant the ones listed. You can fit them to the context you need….
