.

The sun pierces, emerging
through spiderwebs of branches:
Burnt by heat and hardened by frost.
White needle beams
Fingertips of heaven
Reaching out to scratch..
perhaps my eyes or
mosquito bites on a child's knee.
A gentle angel manicure,
broken from too much thunder bowling.
Windowshades attempt to hide my face from
peering lashes.

The skies swirl scarlet, puce, and gold
And soothe the tempermental king of the sun.
He sleeps.
Sister moonsilver contrast against
velvet ocean expanse.
Cubic zirconia stars scatter and settle into
Cassiopeia and Orion.
Night reigns.

Thank you all my poet friends!!

LOL@Loper...
want to hear something different..??
We have a town called Puce not too far from where I live!

No puce in Texas?
Yer kiddin' me!

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.
