if i were...

if i were a month i'd be May in full bloom,

if i were a day i’d be autumn equinox,
if i were a time of day i’d be both dawn and dusk,
if i were a font i’d be courier,

if i were a sea animal i’d be a dolphin,

if i were a direction i’d be west,

if i were a piece of furniture i’d be
 an Amish rocker,

if i were a liquid i’d be raspberry juice,

if i were a gemstone i’d be rose quartz,

if i were a tree i’d be cherry,

if i were a tool i’d be a swiss army knife,

if i were a flower i’d be an orange-colored rose,

if i were an element of weather i’d be
 thunder and lightning,

if i were a musical instrument i’d be a mandolin,

if i were a color i’d be cerulean blue,

if i were an emotion i’d be bliss,

if i were a fruit i’d be a red raspberry,

if i were a sound i’d be
 the song of the Baltimore oriole,

if i were an element i’d be rain,

if i were a car i’d be a '68 Camaro~

hot blue with white bumblebee nose stripe,

if i were a food i’d be goat cheese with honey,

if i were a place i’d be the Alaskan rain forest,

if i were material i’d be goat's beard shatoosh,

if i were a taste i’d be pumpkin gelato,

if i were a scent i’d be rose petal tea,

if i were a body part i’d be a very clear eye,

if i were a song i’d be Ripple,

if i were a bird i’d be a red bellied woodpecker,

if i were a gift i’d be a kiss and a hug,

if i were a city i’d be Berlin,

if i were a door i’d be a dutch door~

 top swung open to the sun,

if i were a pair of shoes i’d be hiking boots,

if i were a poem i would be this:

"But yield who will to their separation,

my object in living is to unite,

my avocation and my vocation

as my two eyes make one in sight.

Only where love and need are one,

and the work is play for mortal stakes,

is the deed ever really done

for heaven and the future's sakes."

Robert Frost

This moment of self indulgence was inspired by Debi over at Emmatree.

 If you'd like to play along, I'd love to find out what you'd be.
