She Is April Premiere Contest Winner

In the center of a fresh pageant, she throttles like a mythical woman quick to dance among open flowers, whirling like a hundred stars with curves round and breasts oyster pink as the trees, ovules, candles in her eyes open the fingertips of near April. Wild tempo vibrates on wispy notes, until eyes of fire melt nightfall's brew... for primal and young is this Aries goddess holding a voile skirt that lifts into a twirl while the moon hangs like a violin... eager to wing this lady's reggae jigs drifting on brocade of her springtime arms: And if every detail of lace in a gown can be sewn in the light touching her flesh , this she shall bring too... this near April debut. Contest: Your best poem in the last year Sponsor: Silent One Written 3/6/2017 Re-submitted 2/5/2018
