When winter petal walks
some say "sweet spring!"
Under gentle rain and gorgeous misty moon
a girl is aching like a luscious bruise, drained of all beauty.

When the evening is dry and raw,
she shakes, then falls, a sad women
with a white wet bouquet of skin,
parting like delicate lace.
i decay.

Hi pg

Welcome aboard.

This is rather fine and should really be posted in "experienced". It reads like a translation of Japanese/Chinese poetry: sparse, zen-like, haunting.

Nice one.

Look forward to seeing more of your stuff.

Cheers
Cam

Agreed

A day in the life/ death of a petal. Very light.
