Stripped Bare~
With ponderous recollection
exuberant I become,
bountiful is my prolonged
sense of awareness.
Extractions of time exude
the flourishing of ageless rooted
barked stems outreaching.
Sensitive to nature’s spell,
budding spring blossoms
fill my eyes with shapes
and colors of beauty.
'flowers'
The early morning red breast
seeking a nesting place
to prepare.
Through summer heat
solids of green,
proliferate fully
the flora of philodendron.
Thunderous rain
and sunshine showers,
beckons me to its shaded
refuge.
With deep hesitations,
gazing upon early starlight moon.
A gentle chill of night,
swirls of soft winds trundle.
Subtle exhale is nature’s breath.
Autumns awe, now genuflects.
Huddled in a blanket of warmth
my eyes glisten to frozen dew.
As purity of crystal flakes
keeps promise to the
rooted stems of bark
now dormant.
Stripped bare, she dances with song
gracefully to winter’s air.

Something about the beauty of someone or something being stripped bare and the grandeur beyond the shell seen.....also beautiful.
These are my thoughts....of a this picture......

I loved the flow and the feeling behind this. Thanks for entering and good luck.

I never expect anything from my contests as I only try to inspire, the reason for no rules. I think in doing this it allows the poet to write such as this. You have taken the inspiration outside the box and made it your own. I like Mal
very much
excellent
Peace Muddy -
You have a good way describing what you think. A lot of times when I write poetry it never seems to end up the way that I started it. HHHHMMMMMM Maybe a higher power guiding us?

perhaps you should take a vacation.....need a ticket? Where ya wanna go? To ....?
Malabu -
A "humid" piece enjoyed for its observational tone. A bit bookish but a wonderful introduction to feeling. Reminds me of the first day of a planned vacation just before you decide to ditch the plan and go with the flow.
Thanks for the opportunity to read (smile) -
A kind and beautiful place your mind must be in.

Thank you spirit.....It was my imaginations running wild...
.....lol
Malabu -
Nice job going from one season to the next giving rather interesting details about each one. I haven't heard the seasons being described in that particular matter. That what makes a good poem in my opinion by using phrases and details that no one has thought of yet. Good work.

Thanks anime......what a sweet comment you honor me with...
for you
Mal -
I pleasantly found this piece contains quite a bit of depth. It takes someone really established in their imaginative abilities to be able to create a poem with both simplicity and depth. Excellent write!

Wow I can completely see where you are coming from on this one; as though she is bowing her head in memory, and I love the way you come up with something completely different to what most would have done - nice job on this, the imagery was so beautiful!
-

Mal -
This was a wonderfully expressed poem. I loved how you went from one season to the next and gave me visuals to embrace as I read this. Beautiful words from a beautiful heart. Thanks for the great read. ~val~
