Doves and paper airplanes
In
Silken cradles of your thoughts, like
Tulips in December... (I like to think that I'm)
Renaissance and sugared apricots--
(A bright revision to your classicality…and)
Confectionary jam for your croissant; (just a)
Tiny teaspoon of my lyricism helps the
Indigestation of my artwork--so eccentric, so unorthodox.
Oh, I think I thought I saw you g l a n c i n g at me
Nonchalantly...(it may be just a reverie, but) in my dreams I'm an awa kening to you...(a phenomenon you cannot free from all your thoughts)--I am tulips in December, love: I am Renaissance to Camelot.

Author's Note: I almost didn't publish this one because I feel like it's kinda silly. Ultimately, though, it's got some cute little rhymes in it, so why not? ☺️ Also:
Camelot: The name of the castle of King Arthur - a fictional character from literature which dates back to the medieval times.
Renaissance: The Renaissance is defined by history.com as "a fervent period of European cultural, artistic, political and economic “rebirth” following the Middle Ages."

We'z Walking on a Path Ruled By Numbers
This road has felt endless, yet limited; every step tracked. Inching away along this path, I feel trapped. Confined. Left to this narrow passage that may one day amount to something greater. Time is not a concept. Only distance. From start to finish, I laugh and cry and attempt to convince myself that this is worth it. I cannot stray. I must keep going. Every step etched, is a step taken, is measured as more than before. I cannot even recall how I got here. Maybe I don’t even really exist. Just another tick marking off a perceived presence. Of what though? I am just another line drawn. Nothing more, nothing less.

Guinevere? ! 🎼🎶 Camelot ! 🎵🎶 Not silly at all. You are such a romantic. Love it 🥰
The cover art is gorgeous and so is the poem.
A beautiful story, Gina. You've certainly carved a niche with these acrostics.
That first line gave me DeJa'Vu. I'm almost positive I had a dream about paper airplanes fairly recently. Weird🤔... Anyhoo, your poem was dreamy as always and definitely worth publishing so our eyes and mind can devour our dose of Gina C. we all look forward to. 👏👏👏💕
"Confectionary jam to your croissant". "In my dreams I'm an awakening to you". Wow, such great lines!
"Silken cradles of your thoughts" Wow, that image is so beautiful. You add tangibility to the most unorthodox pairings of ideas, and I am here for it! 🤩 Really enjoyed this one; I'm a fan of Renaissance stuff, haha!
Oh this was so SO beautiful! I loved the tulips in December! They reminded me of Mariann's tulips! They were so beautiful in the snow. Thank you so much for this tiny teaspoon of your lyricism! 🥰🥰🥰
"Renaissance and sugared apricots" - oh, I love this. So, so beautiful, Gina! ❤️
I don't find this silly at all, Gina. I experience it as wistful, dreamy (whether night or day), & quite authentic.
This series of yours is outstanding, Gina. This one has such flair, I absolutely love the line ‘tulips in December’ - great work!
This is a masterpiece! Lovely work Gina!
Gina, can you stop being so good at poetry? You should publish a book!
Ohh this one is my new favorite every line was sooooo good. You are really out doing yourself with the concepts of these!
I admire your creativity and your word choices rank in a class truly of their own. Fantabulous work! 👏 💙 🌹
I loved soooo many word choices in this one!! It practically danced off the screen as I read. And tulips are my favorite flower! Another delightful mini from you, my friend :)
Very artistic, this is a very cute and lovely poem!!
I agree, this was a cute little poem! Well done!
This is wonderful! "I am renaissance to antique Camelot" what a cool line!
This beautifully captures the essence of artistry and love, blending vivid imagery with a touch of whimsy.🥰 I love it so much!!!🙌👏💕
This is gorgeous, like a dream. Beautiful piece, my friend.
I love how you manipulate words. You pack in so much nuance into your lovely poetry. I am a fan 💖
A brilliant prose poem. You're a master weaver in this sub-genre
Light and whimsical just dripping with your style! A brilliant piece!
I am glad you published it, Gina! It's not silly at all. Whimsical, maybe. Dreamy, maybe...but not silly! And that's coming from the king of silly acrostics lol! This is a pretty little ditty and I love the last line/section especially. but from the very first line I was reeled in. Bravo, my dreamy friend!
