Premium Member My Vermillion Maple Tree

brilliant red maple tree
with her vibrant leaf flames
she gives me pause
her scarlets are as onfire as cinnabar
reminding me of sun fire and blood
I love her


Premium Member Summertide Pairings

cinnabar and cinnamon
strawberries and cherries
apricots and luscious mango
windchimes and crystals
hummingbirds and butterflies
sailboats and sunsets
summer nights and nuptials

On the Arm of the Adirondack Chair

On the arm of the adirondack chair
(painted unafraid purple by a pale pink hand),
All new-penny cinnabar shine,
Noble as any bald eagle,
Ahead, which I guess may be side-to-side,
He watches tall as a robin into the
long-hot-shadow-waning-of-May ochre light.

Premium Member Autumn Reverie

autumn arrives sneaking slow...with the purple prism in the sunburst sky

maroon meadow displays...the ornate crown of dazzling diamond dew drops

in cinnabar garden path color burns...the leaves to gold in tanned trees

in hued explosion i absorb...autumn’s afterglow in reverie

Premium Member September Rhapsody-SS


Cotton clouds brush the end-summer sky,
the meadow below wears crown of topaz dew.  
Lining the cinnabar garden path the sepia trees 
listen to the autumn’s footfall, striding slow.
Draped by the silver moondust in pellucid night 
I instill the essence of September rhapsody.

cinnabar
     setting sun
  like a vermilion ball
      bids goodnight
           to the earth
the sad wind
    welcomes 
        mystical moon
  who rules
     in place of the sun
dusk drops early
         light dwindling into night
God's painting
    done for the day

Indian Paintbrush
 Cinnabar to rum.
 Bluish to a pink rose.
 Curious toward a new path.
 Waltz through painted daffodils.
 Crystalline ruby sky.
 Scarlet blood red devine.
 Indian Paintbrush.
 Open fields, red sun.
 Thine crimson deep.
 Fall asleep, can’t speak.
 Mesmerized by reverence.
 Rows of labyrinth.
