'To the girl with cherry red boots' - a Poem

Red Boots

Divider

this is my tendency,
to summarise with cherry redness
what I couldn’t, in the moment-

captivated by a cigarette
behind the ear, the jet black skinnies,
turn and smirk

or is that rude of me to say?
says you, a figment, just
a pigmentation in a pair of shoes

I never knew, have never spoken to,
untroubled by these imitations
empty on a word-filled page.

On the search for a little cherry love eh? I'll resteem maybe she is following me. Haha. Hey did you used to have a lemon cartoon avatar at one point?

Thanks! I'm sure she is, the world can't be that big can it? ;)

Nope, not me I'm afraid - can't say I've seen one on my travels here either...

Have you always had this avatar than?

Yup, since day one!

What a perfect evocation of that missed opportunity moment, and its aftermath, the curiosity unsatisfied. Beautifully written as always :)

Thank you bennett - glad it resonated with you :)
