I want to write a poem as elegant as old lace,
as simple and airy as a child's rhyme,
as soft and loved as a stuffed animal,
as welcoming as an old slipper, as easy to slip on.
A poem in which I can open my most tender secrets
to the trusted and compassionate reader who takes in
the words knowingly, securing them inside her secret place
where she will turn to them often for solace....
