Sweet
drops
entice
as they fall
from flourishing stem
I stop and smell your aroma
intoxication
as I fall
under
your
spell

beautiful picture and poem.

Thanks! Glad you liked them both–this is one of only a few poems I’ve written where I’ve selected the photo first.

love this, well done.

Thanks! This was a new form for me, but I definitely enjoyed it

Oh wow! What a wonderful poem. Amazing in fact! And your words go nicely with your photo of the Turkish Poppy. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your creation with A Picture Speaks!

I often choose a photo before I write a blog post, but not usually when I’m writing poetry. You chose a good inspiration!

Thanks! Yeah, pictures have so much power that I like to first write and then choose a picture that can add subtlety. If I choose a picture first then the poem is usually very literal. Thanks for stopping by
