Shoulder blades and silken slippage
as the glimmer of your eyes
sneaks over your shoulder
and the blue ribbon twines
between, and makes me remember
a song about Johnny
who promised to buy
a bit of blue ribbon,
home from the fair
And there it is,
twisted in bonnie brown hair

I really like the overall tone of this piece. It is really rich in imagery for such a short piece and well done.

a lovely ekphrastic piece here. I bet she bakes cherry pies, too.
