optimism

optimism

By Ann Krischus

she puts it on
like a favorite piece
of jewelry,
lets it sparkle,
the perfect gem.
dabs her wrists
with it and lets it
fill the room,
it's sweet scent
is gentle
like a rose
in the breeze.
it tastes a bit
like chocolate,
a handful
of hershey kisses.
and when you hear it,
it is as if every bird
in the neighborhood sings.

meet the optimist.
