for jasmine

I am looking for the luxurious meadow

Among the upright and stubborn trees

So I can walk in its grass

Of fine crushed emeralds and find

A lazy rolling lake beside

I liked the free verse of the wind there most

Until I met the happy dancing flowers

Tickling my nose with

Jasmine.



I am looking for the luxurious essence of the meadow.

I have lost the scent of

Jasmine.

    visually stimulating metaphors. i read it twice, because the first time i was distracted, but i was really able to visualize the emerald meadow and the rolling lake, etc. can we get an excerpt from one of your stories? and i watched part of the commercial for roscoe's chicken and waffles. lmao at you saying ordering other things confuses the staff

    Good concept. Like the opposite degree of emotions shown.
