the reveal

by Kristina Woodhill

orange, yellow, red
throw themselves down,
autumnal paintbrush splash;
a rustling sigh escapes
as clinging can no
longer satisfy and fading
green flees the scene
of gypsy lee rose,
inviting arms outstretched,
standing supple,
stark and shy,
in her sunlit, colored pool

Sigh...
What a beautifully soothing poem. It's almost as if you can hear a gently murmuring stream flowing through it.

kristina, same as paige, half way thru, i paused realizing i was wishing i'd written it and well you know...i saw each photograph of your seasonal and reveal[ing] jaunt, thanks for that viewfinder.

As poetically colorful as you m'lady. And like us who cling to what we know as long as it is viable. Very nice.

As for me, I liked the stripper connection. In fact, I prefer that visual, which this piece conjures.
