Plum Purple Night
My Florida sequins sun
Deliriously sparkles
Like a disco globe
Reflecting heat
Splitting dreams into
Relentless mirages
Of 17 beaches
Wearing waves
Of fallen lavender
Sowing black red
Drifting seeds
In the fertile blue
Raining upside down
Draining Tampa Bay
Flooding the sky
With lullabies of incense
Warm and waiting
For a Plum Purple Night
Of 17 chances
To medicate the stars
With welcomed fragrance
Curing their insomnia

Author's Note
I wrote this cause I've been struggling to sleep.
I'm excited about seeing my Mark:)
When I started it was 17 days away - now it's closer.
I kept the number because he's an odd number fan:)

Hi Her!!
I totally agree. I get super excited and wreck myself. hahaha
But I had this crazy trippy dream/vision and had to write it down.
Thanks for the RL and allowing me to paint your mind for a moment:)

Dear A,
Plum purple night. Love that image. 17 beaches! Sounds divine. Each stanza is a mini gem of agita provoking thoughts I can totally relate. But then you say beaches and it sucks that agita right out and away. It’s all going to be glorious once you’re there and together. Relatable write, I wish a safe trip and fun times together. H🌷

Hi H!
Plum purple is a great color. I think it's a great color substitution for black. It gives it some texture - if that makes sense. Gives it some shade.
When I don't sleep very well my whole day is thrown off.
I took this write to the extreme and thought about mirages.
My imagination took off from there:)
Thanks for the RL and stopping by H!!

Hi Pink:)
I'm a huge fan of art but can't paint to save my life!
Right next store to my job is the Art Guild of my town.
It inspires me to try and paint with poetry.
I'm glad you enjoyed my Plum Purple Night collection
of vignettes.

Excellent from start to finish... the three line stanzas work so well with this... great flow and line breaks... refreshing as the morning walk on the beach...

Hi LilD!
Thank you so much for your snaps on this write.
Thought I'd give the three line stanzas some love.
It's one of my favorites actually.
It looks so clean and challenges me to trim excess words.
Thanks for the RL!!

The imagery of this is beautiful! I'm happy you get to see your love once again. Separation is taxing, but they say the distance does one of two things: it extinguishes the weak or inflames the strong. I'm betting on the latter for you two!

Hi Ahavati!
I'm sure you've noticed I love imagery. All venues of art are so inspiring to me because it comes from a creative extension from within.
(As I wrote that an octopus popped into my mind - no joke!!)
Poetry is my own way of painting someone's mind so to speak.
Taking them along with me with each stanza:)
It's as close to actual painting I can get.
So thanks for visiting my Plum collection!
And thank you for the RL lovely:)

Your gift of imagery is amazing. May the days fly by until you're together...& then it can slow again.

Hi LJ!!
Thanks for the love amiga.
Wanted to try some painting and expand my mind for a moment.
I'm glad you found it worthwhile:)
Wanted to paint some mirages and make it super cool at the same time.

Come to my grotto! (Inside joke, y'all. Lol)
I think I like the authors note just as much. Hey, maybe your next write after your visit, you can write about how stars are like diamonds!? Too cliche?
I love how original you see when you write. Your details are always unique and never cliche, the same as you in real life. You're one of a kind at both, and it's part of why I love you!
This write is so cleverly done. Lots of precise details that I can relate to. Thank you for the smiles for my face.

I try to keep things fresh. Challenge myself with original ideas.
It's okay to have the same theme but needs to have a different spin.
Love and missing you seems to be my theme at the moment. haha
Did someone say grotto!! haha
And honey - you inspire me all the time in my writes.
You motivate me daily to strive to get published. I'm working on it!!
You smile - I smile
simple as that!

I hate odd numbers though, Adelphina! Funnily enough, I don't mind the number 5 cos it never felt odd to me as it was always 'halfway'. I'm strange like that! ;-)

Hey Billy!
OMG!!
That is so true about the number 5.
It's the halfway point. LOL
Sorry it took so long to respond but I've been busy off the site.
Not strange at all amigo!

Hey Wolf
I'm glad you enjoyed. I was daydreaming about going to Florida and this is what I came up with. Plus, I couldn't sleep - I was pretty excited for my trip:)

Re. Plum Purple Night
You write with such exuberant energy and optimism. I love having read you tonight. Your poems are a gift for the downhearted and brokenhearted. You can write about insomnia in waiting and make it into a celebration. That takes talent. Love how you write and where your poems take me.

Hi John!
I'm positive by nature. I have my moments but who wants to stay in that place for too long. I write my way out of a lot of things.
it has been a pleasure seeing you on my pages!!
Thank you so very much:)
