Thoughts

Viola I. Paradise

QUICKSILVER thoughts

Flirt with me these spring days;

Flit through my head,

Slip through my fingers;

Teasing, vanish

Before I have touched them.

But if I were a poet

I’d know a trick to catch them!

I’d catch them with a spirit noose….

And then I’d let the wild things go.
