Susan Woodrow Poet Blank verse

Isla Bella Butterly

In this dark, I’ll create my light: ‘Rambi’
Switch gone realities to fantasies
lit green in sun and rains continual
Awash, rainbows flittered o’er land and sea…

Balm-like, soft thatch lightens my concrete tomb
Endless walls in a salty breeze dissolve
lifting heavy drapes to dance with palms tall
Languidly lacy, they sway where birds thrall
Ah! Warm sands I sip, drowning in aqua…

(12/28/21: Inspired by B forms contest)

Michelle Faulkner December 28, 2021 at 10:34 AM How beautifully evocative, Susan, especially love 'languidly lacy' and 'drowning in aqua' - makes me think of an island resort after a rainfall - should be a top winner! Susan Woodrow December 28, 2021 at 10:44 AM Thank you Michelle.. I am missing an island but travel is far more difficult these days so this write will have to suffice. This one isn't for the contest :)
