the ray of sunlight just happened to land 
on the magenta hued lab created garnet stud earrings 
somehow it illuminated the whole room
“That reminds me,” she exclaimed
“I need to get a pair of everyday earrings
like diamonds, maybe emeralds”
it dawned on her
they’re not just for night

Bonjour ! I’ll continue to write about my favorite French-inspired things, as well as books, chocolate, music, movies, and postcards, but to change things up a bit, I will also share a 50-word poem each day in the month of January!

These micro-poems are based on personal observations, pesky intrusive thoughts, and general anxiety about getting older.

Do you have something you’re saving for a special occasion? Each day is special, so why not use it today?

Thanks for reading!

This poem is from my poem-a-day series (January 2024).
