if i were…
keeping my eye on the sky, i’d look like this:
if i were playing along with julochka and debi, i’d look like this…
if i were a month i’d be october, full of light,
if i were a day i’d be friday night in front of the fire,
if i were a time of day i’d be midnight,
if i were a font i’d be handwritten,
if i were a sea animal i’d be a dolphin,
if i were a direction i’d be north and teach you to find me at night,
if i were a piece of furniture i’d be a strong chair to sit in,
if i were a liquid i’d be tea,
if i were a gemstone i’d be lapis lazuli,
if i were a tree i’d be a willow swaying in the breeze,
if i were a tool i’d be my grandfather’s wrench,
if i were a flower i’d be monkshood,
if i were an element of weather i’d be a soft misty rain,
if i were a musical instrument i’d be a harmonica played by dylan,
if i were a color i’d be periwinkle,
if i were an emotion i’d be longing,
if i were a fruit i’d be a blackberrry,
if i were a sound i’d be a swallow’s chirp,
if i were an element i’d be copper, like my hair,
if i were a car i’d be a 1967 chevrolet impala,
if i were a food i’d be, without question, chocolate
if i were a place i’d be the adirondack mountains,
if i were material i’d be wool,
if i were a taste i’d be cinnamon,
if i were a scent i’d be sandalwood rose,
if i were a body part i’d be a foot,
if i were a song i’d be mr. tambourine man,
if i were a bird i’d be a hawk and fly myself like a kite,
if i were a gift i’d be a handmade sweater,
if i were a city i’d be seattle,
if i were a door i’d be french and frame a pretty garden,
if i were a pair of shoes i’d be sexy but comfortable,
if i were a poem i would never, ever tell you
the meaning behind the words.

I am quite late this morning, not yet out the door to work, but had to stop by & read this. You are full of fragrances here, and my mouth watered when I read blackberry. A luscious list. And yes. A harmonica played by Bob Dylan. That’s pretty wonderful. 🙂

“if i were a direction i’d be north and teach you to find me at night”
I love this line…
And when you said your favorite fruit was blackberry, I thought you were referring to the electronic one 😛

You must smell awfully good! 😉 Love your list. You (and Debi) have inspired me to do one, but it will be later in the week.

It is quite interesting, you actually learn some things about yourself!
