This poem fills the "Give Yourself a Gift" square on my 5x5 Mixed Card for the Valentine's Bingo Fest.
Hunting for Treasure
While everyone else buys for others,
you head to the shops with yourself in mind.
You do a lot, day in and day out, and you deserve a nice treat.
From store to store you wander,
searching for just the right thing to catch your eye.
Chocolates, clothes, books, and jewellery all get passed;
you like them well enough but none feel right today.
Finally you happen upon the local craft store and step inside.
You take your time admiring the wares;
beautiful beads, sumptuous fabrics and artful crafts all vie for your attention.
And then, in the corner, almost hidden from view,
is the perfect find:
A deep sapphire yarn with silver flecks, so silky to the touch,
just waiting to be transformed into the most elegant of accessories.
As you walk to the cashier with your treasure,
your mind is already running through all the possibilities
that your new purchase brings.
