Ah yes, red and Valentine's Day approaches and what might we want but something in red. You know your flowers well and your taste too. Happy Valentines for a good write and read.

So cerebral and so physical both at the same time, very sensual.

Hi Kath. You are letting the reader bring something to this poem, and I love that. I had fun alternating, "this" and "his", then reversing the them again. Lovely and visionary. Thanks.

What a truly delightful and creative poem. I read it one way, then the other, and find several different paths I can travel, all of which make me feel, and feel closer to, the natural world; and then I smile at the "his" that is yours. Very nice...

i'm not much for nature, but you capture its beauty and spill it in a way that feels more lifelife than plantlife...if that makes any sense. giving a pulse to the outdoors you could say. anyways, i read this thinking, a concert crowd of young life. a flower instead. that is powerful work kw! i think a lot of times the true talent of a poet shines through when they transform things with such ease. you have done it again. impressed as always. you make me want to walk in fields. excellent. ;]

'point at every ground and sky' If i cant find another one to point at other than the one im standing on, ill create one. i like how you painted the end of it red.

what is the alternative to the why, but we must? what choice for eyes as keen as yours but they surge and splurge the abundance of their beam unto a musing mystery? a mystery which does not retreat from such light but looks forward to this heraldic beam of yours from which to extract from it a wonder and a bliss?

this one is most intriguing to the emotional and physical senses.... clever...aloha to you from this side of paradise... thank you for stopping by and for your kind comments and sentiment..alisa...;-0
