The Red Kerchief

Tiptoeing outside the window
How have I never seen this before?
Each trip, the view never changes.

Rounding the corner
Elsa looks inside
Desperately seeking something new.

Keep searching
Elsa, my darling
Round another corner
Count your blessings
How is it that
I will not leave your bed
Even after
Fate made your kerchief red?

    I love that you gave her a name! And I think Elsa suits her. The poem is like a painting, where you do notice something each time you look/read. Well done and good luck, thanks for entering.
