Challenge
Go outside (yes, OUTSIDE) and find yourself a piece of nature, living or otherwise. Use unusual language and comparisons to make a memorable point.
Purple Queen
Adorned by regal mantle
purple orchid reigns supreme
warm inside a cotton breath,
tendrils wrapping around
verdant tree of life, clinging,
symbiotic relationship
of awakening ardor.
Orchid quivers passionately
chilled before new dawn,
jasmine scent seeks relief.
Fantasies capturing clouds
of beguiling heartbeats,
fabric of my dreams
touching me with
teardrops of midnight.
Amethyst eyes
ambling down
lush periwinkle path
envelope me
in lingering aura,
moon’s silvered dreams.
Magenta queen of beauty
core of truth’s innocence
whispers my name
in silent peace.
