Dale Gregory Cozart Poet Imagism

A Flurry of Winged Petals

Raindrops 
fall like nymphs
darting and dodging
twittering
elfin echoes
in camouflage
dancing 
on my face
skating 
on my fingernails
like frozen ponds
glistening
in a flurry 
of winged petals
balancing 
on my eyelashes
like liquid orchids
poised
to flower
their laughter
muffled berries
yet to blossom
