Lily, Chrysanthemum, Rose
The edges are soft and the shadows gone,
Pure light capturing the essence of beauty,
Flaxen hair cascading down delicate shoulders,
Embracing unconfined glory.
Lily, chrysanthemum, rose,
Picket on the ivy hedged wall,
A scene with a spirit enclosed.
The cherry petals fall in spiraling whorls,
Dashed down with innocent laughter,
A book forgotten on a stone bench,
For a muse of a painter enthralled.
Lily, chrysanthemum, rose,
Guardians of the narrow gateway,
Neglecting their duties in the shade.
The laughter stops to the crack,
A gun in hand, a husband stands confused,
To shouts and cries of beauty swept away,
Of an artist and wife lost to misplaced jealousy.
Lily, chrysanthemum, rose,
Pall bearers walking in stoic silence,
The edges turned hard and shadows dark.

Audrey Niffenegger
If you thought Audrey Niffenegger's first book The Time Traveler's Wife was good, you have to get her latest novel, Her Fearful Symmetry. It is a ghost story set in and around the historical Highgate Cemetery in London. While it is different in most ways from her earlier novel, it is fantastic and satisfying to read. You can find it on Amazon.com or Barnes and Noble. There's a good reason her first book is a number one best seller for the second week of October 2009 NY Times Paperback bestseller list.
