The Greatest Compliment (NaPoWriMo #15)

The Greatest Compliment

Bare calves

And laughs that follow

Cool kisses in the vineyard.

Freckled shoulders

That rise and fall

As we shrug away the winter.

Hair aflame,

Both tame and wild,

In every sunny cinder.

Dances prolong

As songs overflow

From the long Autumn simmer.

It's time to tunnel toes

Through pastures, beaches, and linens,

To be your greatest compliment:

The girl who brings the Spring in.
