This week's assignment: Read The Red Wheelbarrow, then write an eight line poem of your own whose simplicity is equally complex.
She held it delicately
the pretty pink flower
trying not to lose
tiny dewdrops
clinging to open petals
little transparent beads
touched by fingers
felt soft and wet

Beautiful. To focus on something as 'small' as a flower gives a persona feeling of AWE for the beauty it contains!! Nice, Suzy.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary. I couldn't think of a single thing to write about - had to look at my photo archives and then this flower burst forth and an aha in my mind!
DeleteIt feels too delicate!
