“Reids’ Morning Room” Sonnet Jackie Hutchinson

Light falls through folds of lace.
Elegantly she glides, with tight pin curls,
Demurely across the room, her dress twirls. 
Virginia holds herself with grace,
Freckles fall on her porcelain face.
Across her slender neck are rows of pearls,
She reminisces as to when they were girls.
The breeze ripples at a slower pace.
She sips from her cup of Earl Grey,
Piano notes play subtle tunes.
Waiters float along with their trays,
A warm ambience fills the afternoons-
As the morning slips to midday,
Gracious ladies chatter away.
