[For A.]
Held up against the eye's brimming silhouettes,
the polaroids gleam,
all those
pigtailed afternoons and tip-toed midnights,
adventures in ignorance, wisecracks at reason,
folies à deux - frenzies for every season,
precarious perches on edges, drizzly sighs,
endearing monsters and orbits in radiant skies,
diligent obsessions, winked whispers at recess,
clumsy secrets and tangerine waits for a whistle,
all those flutters of that tiny heart,
all that innocence,
all those grins.

"endearing monsters", "precarious perches", "tangerine waits"-i love the unusual adjectives preceding the nouns. if verses could have colours, your adjectives would have rendered this a kaleidoscopic poem indeed!
Stuck between a double U and a Y?
Idiocy is catching I see, a touch of folie a deux perhaps.
Oh, that reminds me, I have to run to the store and stock up on the big citrons. :)
