sorry, but this poem is cold and superficial.

just compare and contrast with your IBPC winner titled the jacket.  the death but lingering memories of a dead husband.

Wait a minute. Now that I've thought about it, that's exactly what I was shooting for -- COLD -- no feelings!

Witt,

I cannot help but infer there is a poem behind this poem.
I require to see more of Your Mother.

Precisely, precisely
the colour of her eyes:

amber, turquoise, lapis lazuli, citrine, smokey quartz, blue topaz?

The gemstone match for her eyes are what this piece requires.  Do not, genuine Lady, drape yourself in diamonds.

Thanks, Cs.

Isn't that typical! Always thinking of myself. I'm too old to be in the Me Generation. I'll see what I can do with this.
