About Angelica Anne
Careful now…she’s fragile.
Give her no cause for fear.
A voice too loud will startle her
…too hushed, and you’re a blur.
Offer her soft…warm cookies.
Place a length of satin ribbon
…in her quiet hands.
Set a vase of lilacs where the sun
…will find their scent.
Careful now…she’s fragile.
Don’t frighten her to death.

Proem... 
“Set a vase of lilacs/where the sun will find their scent.” What a beautiful multi-sensory image. And it’s as gentle as the subject of the poem.
🙂
I liked that line too.
Everything is so fragile… warm will turn to cold, the satin ribbon, the scent of lilacs… life turning to death, waow!
I love the punchline too.
I appreciate your insight very much. Thank you!
A soothing Poem!
Pleased you like it. Thank you!
