Crayons

by Irwina Samara

Our first date

I gifted you a box of crayons

Red blue yellow green

And you gave me

cherry blossoms

Bashful pink

A Christmas cypress

evergreen

The second gift

a paper plane

You sent back

A dole of doves

Flawless white

The breeze of spring

On Tulip fields

The third a blanket fortress

And you built me

A red brick home

With a blue front door

And a lifelong stack

Of children dreams
