I started working on this piece several years ago, but I could never get it quite right. Then, my dad passed away and the words just came to me. I’m honored to have it featured by The Short of It.

I see a budding bloom
I see a budding bloom
wafting in the breeze
Its petals beckon to the bees
like the newly wedded groom
I see a budding bloom
Gazing towards the trees
a blossom hopes to please
Like the new bride’s swoon
I see a budding bloom
Night comes in like a tease
And the flower feels unease
But under the light of the rising moon
I see a budding bloom

I was inspire by this image and dverse poets ballata poetry form challenge. I’m not sure if I like my finished product, but it was a fun challenge! Thanks!
momentarily
my eyes
contemplating you
in the garden of my mind
my eyes on your skin

This fabulous painting and its inspiration were provided by dVERse Poetics:
undone
reaching for triumph
a quiver reveals the way
filters omitted
undone by a single sigh
cracking the moment open
Inspired by FOWC of OMIT…
Also inspired by a mistake! I somehow managed to get the wrong word list for this week’s Wordle but I used all but one word (!) so I’m sharing it anyway 😉
Triumph, Reveal, Way, Quiver, Sigh, Moment, Cracking, Expansive, Filter, Undone, Reach
