ELIZA’S ROOM
by Joanna Gilman Hyde
My Daughter’s Room is Lavender
“Purple” She calls It
& doesn’t like It
The Carpet is white
with old crayon
from previous kids
She bought new sheets today
Purple
& a White Comforter
She said would make
Her hate The Room less
She bought a White Orchid
with Purple in The Centre
& flowers for a heavy glass vase
& here I sit by Her Shaded Window
listening to The Waves

Dear Mrs Hamilton–
Do you know of any public forums in Canada where I could speak about my views on Humanity and God? As you may already have gathered, I am against abortion for any reason and this view would be demonstrated in any speech I might give to any audience.
Thank you for “liking” my poem, and I hope you are enjoying some of my other ones.
