yearning for passion
pouting petals come alive
lips red with desire
Photo is of “Red Canna” by Georgia O’Keeffe
After yesterday’s dark contribution (red decay) I thought I’d offer a slightly less depressing piece. Visit dVerse Poets for details about their Seeing Red Challenge and to read other great pieces.
Thanks to Putting My Feet in the Dirt for giving me the perfect prompt (pouting petals) for this second chance.

You put those pouting petals to good use. I was reminded of Georgia O’Keeffe. And then I googled her, and realised why! And then I read your notes. So, anyhow, you obviously did a great job on capturing the soul of her painting, as it struck me straight away!

Haikus are tricky sometimes. There aren’t many syllables to work with, so it’s often hard to express vivid emotions. But you absolutely mailed that here in this one. Love it! ❤️

Thanks. I love the challenge of so few syllables. Trying to capture something within such a tight framework is so different than my usual work. It brings me great joy. 😊

I’m not really a poet so I’m also not very confident in other forms. You do beautiful stuff.
