Floral Tapestry

I reminisce of childhood prowls, the mild Unfolding through lustrous summer sways That in my past, musings replay when twigs Are sprinkled with blossoms rare like pearls. I find myself wandering downstream On banks wading softly, entranced along fresh shrubs…a vignette of burlap and silk, Rustling like bright confetti that often Fine dewdrops envy my near sunset’s trend. And I could but possess the warm flavor Of buds in heat, my face dipped in their chests Hesitating to leave the lush of gold as Nightfall breaks. Then, floral tapestry churns Against a mural of summer’s rich pattern Up high, where lacquered glint from hillside bursts. Full moon rolls with amusement to cradle Dawn’s garlands, auroral as this child’s eyes; floating through next seasons when my tossed hair sweeps a cluster of maiden time's fanfare. ............... ‘ Flora Abunda’ … www.stephaniedeshpande.com Contemporary Figurative Artiste Stephanie Deshpande in Contemporary Free Rhyme...Cyndi's Contest by nette onclaud

Congrats, love. I am RIGHT NOW, emailing Stephanie Deshpande as when I went to her sight, saw that she READ MY CONTEST BLOG, and even used my overview of her work on her home page. If she responds, I will be sure to post any of her comments. Wouldn't that be amazing? To hear what a dazzling painter thinks of our interpretation of her works? Fingers are crossed... what a gift this would be to soup. Lovely this is... HUGS!

Fantastic! You wove a beautiful poetic tapestry here. It made me think of the Carole King song, Tapestry. It is one of my favorite songs.
