It's almost Valentine's Day, and as usual, red gets most of the love -- but what about that cutest-of-all-colors, pink? A perusal of one Saratoga Springs shop window proves that pink holds special sway as well...words and images, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info -- don't forget! click the ads, friends!
In the pink
Whyever should red
get its own holiday?
Today is just as much
for admixtures --
and the pink of a doll's cheek
or of a bunny's ear
just equals unamounted cheer;
love is earlier to rose
than it is to tawny,
and therefore even children
slightly flushed in the temples
can help to celebrate its glory --
with candied celebrations
made of pastel words on palms:
will you be mine?
each sweet success dissolves,
dissolves its likeness in no more
than its own time.
