Ode to Emily

April Four, 2010

Hair like an angel's,
Mouth wide with glee,
Skin shines with sunlight,
Eyes like the sea.

Feet pushed in flip-flops,
Nails painted blue,
Legs blurred with ageless speed,
Wishing I were with you.

Starkly suntanned
Light brown skin,
Your friendship is the best prize
I could ever hope to win.
