Trumpets of Blue

Driftwood - petrified swirls of wood
laced with delicately draping
trumpets of blue
Morning glories in mist
my heart aches for true
Why does it pine
for the essence of you
petrified thoughts
a delicate whimsy climbs seeking 
a dark sun
to flex her tendrils on

Minute are the creatures that  flaunt themselves
craving to be noticed
Flowers brighter than a rainbow
may as well be grey
Dull and dreary senses
locked in clouds of reticence
perhaps a kiss
a fluttering eyelash
 to awaken them


look there
such beauty can intoxicate
the unsuspecting

Very true. I tend to go for the newer posts as well ... but going through the older ones, on occasion, I find ones that totally passed me by ... like finding that a gold nugget.

Yes. There are so many talented poets on the Soup. Plenty of treasures if you have time to dig.

You do have a way with words, Suz. A lot to ponder about so delicate a thing. The fluttering eyelash and "minute creatures flaunting themselves craving to be noticed" are what got to me. Your trumpets of blue have real personality ... surprising enough to stop any traveler on his/her path.
