Buying The Line Poem by Leria Hawkins

Buying The Line
Date: October 10,2014

Pour me a river
As deep as the sea
Fill it with syrup
As thick as can be
Spread it around
Lay it on thick
Sweet cream and honey
Should do the trick
Build me a castle
That leads to the sky
Up to the clouds
A hundred miles high
Fill it with jewels
Shining and bright
Open the windows
To dazzle my eyes
Weave me a blanket
Downy and warm
Line it with passion
To weather the storm
Wrap it around me
Tuck it in tight
Stitch it with dreams
To flavor the night
Sow me a garden
Of bright daffodils
Sunny and yellow
To gladden the hills
Mix in a bluebird
To sing me a song
And a sweet dancing monarch
To spar me along

Tickle my fancy
Flatter my head
But, let me down gently
When your hunger is fed…
