Alstromeria From my chair of words the window watch colors the gray unsettling clouds with tips of gay this one is like the setting of day just before it reaches night deep into lavender bursting from the center are two feathers blessed with yellow and lines of burnt umber the headdress of a maiden flower the stamen warriors dance in front of her the wind taking them into her blush of crimson and just for a minute as I hold the delicate bloom to my nose I inhale a smoky campfire |

Love the headdress of a maiden flower! What a lovely visual that is. You write in living color, so vivid, and especially beautiful. Nicely penned Martie~ |

Windows are great, aren't they? Terrific writing, Martie, although I can't expect much less. You have those last lines that literally make me gasp with excitement somehow. This was one of those, like "A Love Story," where the last line just had me floored... All of your description is so clear and imaginative. I wouldn't mind a glimpse from behind your eyes, myself... I have a feeling you're going to be a popular partner in the duet club. Parasite Poets are the unacknowledged legislators of the world. |

this begs a series of "flower" poems. . . not necessarily about each one. . .but, rather. . . poems that have a flower as the title. . . wonderful my friend. . . ---------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |

MartieSis~ This is BEAUTIMOUS ! (silly me ... trying to figure out which one you have ?) When they are ALL gorgeous ! I 'think' ... that sometimes I look out my window and see 'shades of Martiesque' growing~ You poetess, you ! Thank you for the beauty of your word-bouquets~ Found this little beauty to share - http://community.webshots.com/photo/18922613/21254918OIrvbrwPSv *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |
