in Poetry Tags: a QUICKSILVER new year, clinging to our skin, each pops, effervence like rainbow bubbles, freshly blown, invisible yet haunting, leaves its scent, lift the veil, mercuriel poems, quickly, sweet essence, the silver of her grace, turned to silver

in Delicate, Poetry Tags: all who saw, an elder trapping younger, Delicate, delicate palms, giggles, he slapped the backs, Jeanne and Bob at the Alzheimer's Unit, lighted, quickly, squealed with delight
Jeanne and Bob at the Alzheimer’s Unit
.
6 Delicate (like Jean Follain)
His delicate palms held mine
poised to slip away;
when suddenly he slapped the backs
and giggled;
we lighted, and once again
he caught me quickly
and all who saw
squealed with delight
at elder trapping younger!
