Paper

Yes, I may have written my daily poem about the paper that I just purchased from Wet Paint today….so what?

Paper

Substantial,
like velvet to touch
deckled edges revealing the fibers
each sheet was formed from
water
pulp
dye.

one sheet a deep midnight
blue crossed with brown
thin lines making waves
all across
like a lake at night.

two sheet of gold
brown with just a touch
of green
patterns of leaves with delicate
veins patterned each way
edge to edge.

I realize I am buying paper
to make up for what nature
is missing.
