My Purple Curtains

My Purple Curtains

 

My purple curtains

Were put up today.

A perfect piece

For my brand-new space.

 

My husband and I

Have traded the small den

For the living room.

Now we have more space to live in.

 

My new desk, built for me,

Sits in front of the window.

Pattern curtains sheared in half

To insert purple curtains betwixt to show.

 

The trees and blue sky

I can now see through

The sheerness of

My purple curtains.

 

What will I write

In this new space?

Right now, I’m finishing this book,

Hopefully with words filled with grace.

 

As I sit here,

One thing’s certain,

I will write in front of

My purple curtains.

I love the colour purple. It is my favourite colour. My bedroom's soft furnishings are shades of purple. I wear it alot. I love its richness, the passion of its intensity. I hope your purple curtains inspire you further with your writing.Melinda.
