periwinkle
she is
periwinkle blue
delicate, fragile
enchanting too
how rare to find
a color her kind
the sort of presence you can’t ignore
as if she’s planted love inside
she grows alone, it’s how she likes it
a treasure’s defined by its ability to hide
keeps you curious, perhaps confused sometimes
so very hard to track her creative mind
an unlikely hue
mysterious, enigmatic
yet sweet
even adorable, as little petals bloom
competing with the leaves
that seem to swallow her
pastel colors burst
like no other
a blessing equaled by a curse
some wicked hands wonder
how she’d look captured in glass
or in a shop bouquet
where she won’t last
she will wither and suffer
but resilience keeps her growing
a little while longer.

Most excellent...
Prismatic & alive...
Interacted in a surreal manner,
in my perception.

Hey there TF
Your words are always so well strung together and with this piece, into such a beautifully woven tapestry.... Where the metaphoric use of color and flowers makes me giddy and understanding /empathic of the comparisons, made..
So potent and ultimately moving
I deeply adore you ending upon the idea of resilience... If even for that short time...
One of the reasons why I like April so much is I get to gorge on your poems, daily... Lol.
I read them all, btw!
Thanks for this lovely read, in particular.
Good luck in your NaPo days ahead.
🌹-💙

wow wow! this comment made my whole evening, thank you :)
resilience for a short time can make for a brighter “long time” if you get me.. flowers and nature always make for perfect metaphors I find. I appreciate your support tremendously, and adore your inks.
