Violet
Sleeping in
sheets of streets
Busting above
concrete
Thriving in
the shade
Supreme dream
Hear me scream
I'll never regret
Violence in a
Violet
Bloom to the
tone of a cello
message to
my bone
and marrow
Don't play me
violins
Sleeping in
sunset sheets
Vivid and
glowing
Ruling over
the world
Neon dream
Blinding supreme
I'll never regret
Vibrance in a
Violet
Bloom to the
tone of a cello
message to
my bone
and marrow
Don't play me
violins
Waking up in
synthetic clouds
Velvety rich
stem growing
all over
the ground
Velveteen dream
Velour supreme
I'll never regret
Velvet in a
Violet
Bloom to the
tone of a cello
message to
my bone
and marrow
Don't play
me violins
Don't play
me violins
sheets of streets

Dear A,
This was great. Before I even read your authors note I was singing this more than reading it. Violets are pretty and any mention of a cello wins me over, it’s such a lovely instrument. Terrific writing.

Dude!!
I am the coolest!!
Cipher's Mad Hatter poem test said so. LOL
And of course I'm nice to my fans.
Putting your original work out is kinda scary.
Always a little nervous before I push the submit button.

Wow, you are the coolest! Your writing is so creative and versatile, I love it! I agree with the other comments, a mixture of urban and floral delight for sure. A burst of colors and scents. You certainly have no reason to be nervous pushing the submit button but I totally understand. I am the same way. :p Your lyrics are awesome...

Hi Kristina!!
Thank you for your snaps chica!
In that case - you are the sultriest! LOL
That is a word right? Me and my typo nightmares.
I can't help being nervous. My poetry is sacred to me.
Like one of my children. LOL
Hope that makes sense.

I love the sound of the cello.
It has such a menacing beautiful tone.
Thanks for checking it out.
You are making my day!!!

Hello
I like to go back to the start of a collection to get to know a reader. This was the one that peaked my interest.
There’s something so beautiful about the repetition of the colour violet, and that alliteration of feelings. It adds this rather lively lyrical feel to the words. It marries perfectly to the tune of the violin — I smiled when I thought of the hands sliding the neck of the instrument. How it all became one big symphony.
Gorgeous.
That ending of “don’t play me violins” is this gorgeous declaration of not needing sympathy.
It would be interesting to actually hear this piece to music as it’s marked as song lyrics. It feels like it should be playing on a Paris street in the sunshine.
Thank you for sharing this, I thought it was a stunning little read.

Hi Missy:)
Thank you for checking this out. I just had that chorus in my head.
And I love the color violet and the flower. I spent the day at my desk just jotting down words with the letter V.
Came home in a rush and started writing.
This one didn't take too long.
I remember on the podcast when Faith said poems write themselves. That's what happened with this one.
thank you so much for this wonderful comment.
and the RL:)

I was about to think myself quite clever and say this read like a song….
The. After reading you comment about not having written a song I started to unpat myself on the back 😅
This would be interesting to hear it sung
Thanks for the read

Hi:
So glad you enjoyed this little write of mine. LOL
Please do pat yourself on the back. It could be either or.
I think most poetry could transition into a song quite easily. Just
pick your favorite line or stanza and repeat it late in the piece:)
