Saffron Skylines


Silk-
starfish
of fervent
fate weaves soft-quartz 
feathers of marshmallow metaphors that 
croon with firefly's fluorescence amidst life's
claustrophobic 
clouds, shading
bitter
smogs 
with
plush sweet-
dahlias;
And I chase light
within saffron skylines beyond dreamscapes.

Oh, my, I'd love to visit inside your mind, sit among this imagery until you kicked me out. Alliteration alert!! Love it. So many visual explosions happen in each line that I read it 3 times so I could still hear/feel pop pop, no scary boom boom! Wonderful poem.

The like the mystical quality of your poetry with your use of alliterative juxtapositions like 'marshmallow metaphors' and 'silk-starfish'.
