Look At Me

 

Look At Me.

I am known as Pansy-Viola
whose dimpled intrigue
hides variegated beguile.

I wear a mauve overcoat
of  plushest velvet, woven   
to cope with northern weather. 
I have a face of mixed yellows 
merged with broad streaks
of purple-striped forehead

Cobalt drifts over my edges 
with spots of underneath hue 
and rings of frilly-kissed tresses 
nestle in studded mosaic beauty 
 as silvery-pale blushes invade 
indigo to vein my petal-tattoo. 

I hide my therapy until
it spills into the mind of one
intending to see.

View my dappled integrity.

Oh look at me, do.
