Haiku & Other Poetry, tutto e niente

red is the color of passion

yearning for passion 

pouting petals come alive

lips red with desire

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.

Heart’s Desire

When all fear is lost

And your passion reigns as queen

The desired heart wins

This little piece was inspired by the fabulous photo provided by The Haunted Wordsmith

It made me think: What was she thinking as she looked over her shoulder? Was she considering what her life could be or could have been IF only she had been (or still was) brave enough to make a change?

And that idea connected with notions of winning and losing, courtesy of Ronovan Writes

Thanks to both. Check out their pages. Good stuff!!
