By the Seaside

Please don't take me to your garden
and show me how deep you had to dig to bury the bulbs
especially the tulips that bloom profusely
completing my missing.

I am well aware there are no guarantees
and only so many petals
that will curve in the curvature
and open up to the sky.

Like a warming trend basking in the sunlight
and the slice of heaven that took me there
caring enough to stand alone
complacent in a vase
filling my life with color
arranged in disarray.

Blues...

This reminded me of a still life of a full and rich vase of spring flowers, but not arranged--just sort of taken out of the garden and put inside, because they are beautiful.

I especially liked this image:

Like a warming trend...

It indicates a change in emotions, or an acceptance of the situation--that's nice.

Thank you for this,

--Matt

A riotous display in disarray can be a very beautiful sight to see!

disarray could be more poetic than
fitting into neat little vases
i know this well

Wow -- into the library with this one!

When I'm reading a poem, my one constant demand is "Don't tell me, show me..." You do that here in a beautiful way, fresh images blended with an original viewpoint on the emotion of it....good work, first word to last.

This is truly one of your best Lori, the metaphors and descriptive writing are absolutely excellent.  Love the tulips line the best.
