A Gift from Marie.

A perfect thing.

Not the journal I was gifted, but similar. Image created by me in Night Cafe.

Found, forgotten
Today,
On my bookcase.
A journal.

Brown cover
Pasteboard card
Purple spine
Fabric.

All made
By hand.

Good paper,
Likewise purple
Or
Lilac if you like.

Hand stitched
And bound
Between leaves
Of
Gold (paper).

A lovely thing
I could
Never suffer
My
Beetle tracks
To sully.

And inside
A card.
Thanks Anne,
Cheers
Marie.

Marie,
Whom to
My
Great
Shame

I cannot

Remember…
