Open Link #299. "Blessed are those who see beautiful things in humble places" This poem is condensed from a short story I wrote for a writing group. You'll have to fill in the spaces! Submitted to dVerse September 2, 2021
THE WINDOW
A drab building sat at the corner
of 10th and Dover, its
once colorful façade
faded to a graffiti-marred
dirty mustard, its windows
dingy and gray…EXCEPT
the second floor window
second from right. It appeared
sparkling clear, and a vase
sat in its center with a single
red flower. He imagined a
lovely girl lived there, and
he came to think of her as
his red flower girl.
Autumn came to 10th and Dover
and one evening on his way
home from the bus stop he
saw a beautiful girl enter the
drab building. He watched
until a light appeared in the
window. It was his red flower
girl!
Isn’t it miraculous how
love blooms in Autumn
in the city?
