CONSTRUCTIVE

Four doors 

Four colours 

Pale pink 

Sky blue

Mint green 

Gold

All numbered 

Wooden style vintage and old 

Except for the Gold

This door.. it shines 

It is fancy and new 

Solid appearance 

Modern endurance 

Not bought in clearance 

A very proud door one might add 

Such beauty perfection 

Gold lock protection 

Pale Pink with cracks lacking symmetry...

I’m pretty sure there were tulips in her eyes,

I shouted “Fire! Fire!”,

She took off her sunglasses,

She saw sunrise.

 

Now I know it, there was a darling rose in her blush,

A honey dew in her stare

But they told me “beware, beware!”

“Have you not been warned of ‘primrose way’?”

 

Now I felt it, there were dandelions on her lips…

Make a wish, make a wish!

Daisy ...
