treasure


tiger eyes were her favorite
         
          raven hair loosely clipped
          beneath her blue bandanna

she thought red too bright
and chuckled

key ring dangling as
knuckles dug sandy soil
loosening golden gems

    Very nicely penned

    you have such a wonderful nak for drawing ones thoughts into the imagery of your poems descriptive use of words. sort of unusual to see you write something without any Caps or punctuation ?? good write

      Thank you so much for your kind comment and YES, I rarely write without punctuation. I struggle with free verse so I felt this might force me into proper line breaks.... Almost! I will keep working at it. I am pleased you enjoyed this one. Thank you. ~Pamela
