Persilliance
Persilliance

Summer and detergent advert
billows in the memory
surfing with the whitened sheets
blowing in the wind.

Then the happy housewife’s smile
flashed upon the laundry flapping,
colours ‘gainst the sun-washed sky,
bold within commercial’s tide.


Line count: 8
Free verse, trochaic meter
For Express It In Eight, 08.03.21
Prompt: Billow.
Author’s Note: I leave the etymology of the word “persilliance” to the reader.
