Woman Of Art

 

Without words, but not without silk  
a dance, a sundown sweeps  
dashing dragons - scales of falling leaves
low soaring in a golden autumn glow  
koto plucking fingers flow  
 
The kimono bestows her  
a frame of winter frost  
frail forearms chambered into sleeves  
lines of brocade pine trees  
their needles bare of snow  
 
Moonshadow muses  
and a choice infusion, verdant, a spring  
showcased through steam  
Lips pursed - petals rouge  
cheeks pressed white  
green pressed tea
 
Midsummer now  
to sated men;  
clutching cups of little hot springs  
with their own air to breathe

*kneels gracefully in her finest summer silk kimono to begin the tea ceremony for honored guests host Celestal Sister Melia, for winner sister Miki, & runner-up sister Layla.  As the ceremony continues, she begins to pour the steaming brew into each cup as she nods her head to each guest...*

Your Tiger sister is honored to share tea & poetry & the podium with you, offering the love of sisterhood in humble reverence, gracious thanks and celebration!

I'm really honored to have been picked!

Honestly, I only uploaded this last night because I went through the trouble of writing it a week (or longer?) ago and I felt like a waste not to enter it.

Jade-Pandora, your two pieces were truly stunning!

Wallyroo, yours was beautiful and left me wanting more with that elipsis/cliffhanger.

Cloven, wonderful work of significance as usual!

Layla, yours read rather staccato, like the plucking of a koto itself, beautiful <3

Like I said, I'm seriously honored, because these were some seriously good entities!

Btw, my family all calls me Miki/Mikki, and hardly anyone else. I love that you have, because among other poets, there's a deep and unique kinship <3

I’m glad, because I’ve always thought of you as Miki.😊

Thank you very much Melia for the mention.  
It was a pleasure to write for your competition and congratulations to Atomikbomb for winning with such stellar work.  Also, to Jade for her beautiful poem as runner's up.
