What if? A Magpie Tales Poem

>> Note: Normally I post my poetry at my Julie Jordan Scott Poetry Page but Typepad has been experiencing some sort of attack with a lot of downtime for the last few days. I decided to come to this alternative blogging location and share my response to today's Magpie Tales Prompt. Here goes:

Finland, 1968 George Mobley (Prompt from Magpie Tales)

What if

We all kissed?

Each one

Choose one

(or several as in

Mama’s and kidlets)

What if

We all hugged?

Open arms

Rush in

Squeeze

Laugh, cry, gasp

Whisper secrets

Release

Repeat

What if

We all looked

And listened

And sniffed

And allowed the

Skin on our faces

To be lifted up

To greet the rain -

What if our

Faces kissed the rain

And didn’t wipe the

Kisses off?

What if?

What if?

What if?
