sun spray paints my skin
not azure nor golden tan
but hot pink among the poppy reds
carnations, lavender, roses & baby pink
staining tiles, walls, sheets, every happy part of me
because it is springtime & everything looks
soft as an unfurling leaf, overflowing
with blossom-seeds
i stretch pretty in
not azure nor golden tan
but hot pink among the poppy reds
carnations, lavender, roses & baby pink
staining tiles, walls, sheets, every happy part of me
because it is springtime & everything looks
soft as an unfurling leaf, overflowing
with blossom-seeds
i stretch pretty in
pink, embracing
beautiful
season

Oh, I hope that Sun Spray paints Galen's skin too. He deserves bright colors all around. He has done so much to brighten other people's lives. It is now HIS turn.

ReplyDeleteYour words still explode with the graphics of your intent, good lord pinks are still months away here. Except in the garden of the mind which sits in the gray matter somewhere.
ReplyDeleteThat picture totally made my morning :)
ReplyDeleteThis made me smile, desperate for color.
ReplyDeleteGreat color, love that hot pink, my favorite! Glad I came across your blog, it's good and unique!
ReplyDeleteIf it's springtime in Canada, how did it miss Michigan?? Nothing but frozen landscape here, barren and dead and we are soo so soososooso sick of it! Could use a flash of pink so thanks for the color palette!
ReplyDeleteAh.. yes.. very inspiring with the colors. great choice of palettes..
ReplyDeleteHow WONDERFUL that our poetry is slipping gracefully into spring. Brooks babble, ducks quack happily, and the world is no longer a strange place.
ReplyDeleteNice 55, Grace!

ReplyDeleteGrace thanks for giving the spring a kick start and Gman a send off,
ReplyDeleteAhhh, looking at the world through rose colored poems, very good Grace! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad spring has found you. We will miss Galen, but TG he will still be out and about, is only passing along the 55 torch, lots of good parties await with Shay & Kelli.
xooxoxoxo
So ironic that we're celebrating spring and new beginnings as G-Man ends his fun game. Lovely imagery.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet! Pink is my favorite color! :-)
