                    An impression


                    Point your wondering lens
                    toward a woven mesh
                    and focus where I stand

                    though the light is harsh
                    and a wind blows ill
                    beyond those keeping strands.

                    The filtering weave
                    will blend my tattered strings
                    and loosened knots

                    and there will appear
                    an impression
                    like a colorful French garden.

                    It will be inviting
                    with its softened edges
                    and pillowed beds

                    and I will smile
                    or so it will seem
                    through that silvered screen.

from the window
is seen
petals blooming
year to year
fox gloves,
canterbury bells,
hydrangeas,
and fringed
bleeding hearts
seeds planted
on colored wind
threaded to
looping needle
tenderly sewn
from unknotted string

smile.

I do love the way you write "e".

and chuckling, I thought I'd finished my answer to the challenge--but I'll have to try again. I kind of went the same way thematically. (Great minds, huh?)

Great minds indeed. We should make Serenity post both. After all, the Task Master made me do two.

Krawdad...I truly enjoyed this. I'm viewing this challenge with a new insight!

Aenimal,
b?, the Big B? Now what do I do?
But thanks : -)
H,
What can I say? Love a versed response.

K,
Ok, where is it? I couldn't have stepped all over it that badly. : -(
But glad you liked.
Sunshine:
Glad you liked.

Do I have to do another?
Cpat:
And thanks for the idea. So much gets buried . . .
M,
Thanks, and glad you enjoyed.

Funny thing about writing poetry, there seem to be so many things that need to be written but stay hidden from the pen until just the right time.
This one pulls together a current "filtered" relationship and a photo I took through a screen door some 25 years ago that I still see in my mind's eye.
We needn't sign such poems. No one else could have written them. Nor likely could I, tomorrow.
