Gift basket

Lace winged fairy

A plush smile

This little box of wood
intricate, adorned with
a medieval heart

Chocolates stolen from
a childhood memory
of sweet crackling malt

A spilled rainbow of tissue

Such a plump handful of beads
facets laughing their shock
of cracked blue and green

All entrapped in clever strands
of some light stem
braided Celtic bold
