Red Petals (Red Peony)

by Skyfire   Dec 13, 2011


A hush is caught
at the unfurled vividness
of poppy-tainted hues,
vision stained
with arresting color.
Flow,
curve,
arch.
Agony--
or ecstasy?
A breath of passion
heavy with the
afterthought of rain.

    such a vivid picture of natures beauty. You have described it with perfection.

    Flow,
    curve,
    arch.
    Agony--
    or ecstasy?

    Again you touched on the very core of this beauty. You would be good at Haikus

    A breath of passion
    heavy with the
    afterthought of rain.

    and this stanza was just breathtaking. I don't normally do this but your poem is filled with talent and a keen sense of nature.
    Excellent if I could give you more than a 5 I would..

    That is so colorful. It's like a bouquet of fervent metaphors. Great job.
