White-veined blue petals, a loving heart,
Is this nature, or is it art?
Flower pressed inside a book
Evokes a loving look–
Of a love that’s lost
Of years long past
Was it you
Who wore
Blue?

White-veined blue petals, a loving heart,
Is this nature, or is it art?
Flower pressed inside a book
Evokes a loving look–
Of a love that’s lost
Of years long past
Was it you
Who wore
Blue?
This is just gorgeous! that blue flower pressed within the book opens out into so many potential memories – love experienced, love lost and a memory trapped within the dried flower. I really enjoyed the way you turn the poem into the very personal in the last few lines of this nonet – ‘Was it you/Who wore/Blue?’ I’m left wondering at the answer and of how the story may have developed. Beautiful!
