Bluffing beauty

A whimsical, free verse poem

By Susan Fourtané Published 9 months ago 1 min read

Drizzle, sprinkle, mizzle

Cheesecake, apple pie, and a whistle.

White tea in the orange tea cup

A daffodil, a daisy, and a dream.

One is not enough if not a bluffing beauty

But an illusion dying in the sea of dreams.
