Poem Artwork

Shimmering, shining, fixedly twining,
sun-silvered and ever so slightly befuddled,
the morning glory opens our gifts
one at a time.  All the time
stammering beneath breath
scented so it is easy to miss,
None is yours to keep,
but to feel your eyes touch
as they would a butterfly,
each petal a stunning blue violet wing
that a clenched fist powders
like that.  Lean close and you will hear,
Give us a lullaby, Luv.
One for each and every bloom
before that shadow creeps
to claim.  Only one that you create
will do.  Remember, Luv,
neither morning nor glory lasts.
Only the music we make.  If
we are lucky, the memory
of a moth soft touch..

I love your use of dual diction here, Pea... so refreshing and surprising... like morning and glory! The combination of voices is very effective. I very much like the classic Romantic flavour to this but given a lemon-squeeze twist to add that extra pizzazz! :)) Kate xx

This whole offering is simply beautiful. One can "feel" the ambiance of the moment and the place. Thank you for sharing this lovely poetic gift, Pea. Love and peace,

Wonderful poem. How true, that we don't own nature, and even the little things of it that we grasp are fleeting.
