Fog Ripens Pink

demure hushed in Avalon fog
weaving fables at grey spindles 
river was tableclothed quiet 
whiteness soft enveloped bodies 
silvery sheath covered psyche
maidens mature into women
protective watchful fog unveils
ripened wombs awakening pink

I love how your poem creates a dreamlike, mystical atmosphere through its delicate imagery of fog, nature, and transformation. The journey from maidenhood to womanhood feels symbolic, suggesting growth, awakening, and the quiet mysteries of femininity. The soft, ethereal language gives the poem a sense of ancient folklore and hidden beauty.. 🥰 You have a brilliant way with words... best of luck in the contest 🌹

Oh ! ThkU for pop-in Silent One. I slightly remembered “Mists of Avalon” when I saw Contest theme. I read the whole series as a young teen, a very long time ago. Lol. Yeah, initiation into womanhood & manhood is so important & it’s a pity that modern society no longer pay much attention to ceremony around this process : though it is re-emerging. Hav a good week. 🙏
