Week 31: The Red Poem


I went to visit my friend, Miss Morning Glory, this week. She has a cabin in Prescott, AZ, and is decorating in red, red, red. Yes. Everything is red. Her curtains, pillows, blankets, fridge, microwave, kitchen utensils, towels, etc. All red. Even her magnetic words are red.

And I must confess: I loove the magnetic words. Yessir. Love them. Of course, I was drawn to these red magnetic words, and Week 31: The Red Poem is the result. There is probably a lot that could be said, but I decided that I would just write the poem out for you and that would be it. Besides, it makes me anticipate all your comments and interpretations all the more. So without further ado:

There never could

blaze a black ember

but she sparks

absolute fight

burn in fevered color

sun sweat heat

sweet glow

flamed in mad revolution

through open spill

like fire white sea

between the match

steams only element

fully them

Sarah, this poem is hot.
So beautiful.

I need things with this embroidered on it or iron-ons so I can stick it anywhere. So gorgeous!

I would love it on my fight night bag.

I just keep reading it over and over...
Love,
Svet
